About this puja
Rahu Milk Abhishekam, the offering Naganathaswamy Temple in Thirunageswaram is known for, bathes Rahu's image with milk as his mantras are chanted. The temple's priests offer it in Rahu's own shrine, with up to four names, your gotra and any birth stars in the sankalp. Proof comes afterwards on WhatsApp, through the temple receipt or a short confirmation.
What is Rahu Milk Abhishekam?
Abhishekam means the ritual bathing of a deity's image. In this seva, milk is poured over the image of Rahu while the priest chants Rahu's mantras. At Thirunageswaram it takes place in Rahu's own shrine, where he is shown with his two consorts. Tradition favours Rahu kalam for it, the daily period said to be ruled by Rahu. The sankalp before it carries your name, gotra and birth star.
Why devotees book it
- A prayer during Rahu dasha or Rahu bhukti, the periods ruled by Rahu in a horoscope
- A traditional remedy for Rahu-Ketu dosha and naga dosha, offered with a quiet mind
- When astrologers link delays in marriage or work with Rahu, as a prayer for a smoother path
- For peace of mind through a difficult period in life
When to book
Rahu kalam, the daily window linked with Rahu, is the traditional time, and Sunday's Rahu kalam is especially favoured. Devotees also book around Rahu peyarchi, the transit of Rahu, or on their birth star. The date, and the time slot the temple can give, are confirmed with you on WhatsApp.
