1 The Shiva Abhishek is usually performed on a Linga and at times on the idols of Shiva and Nandi.

2 There are specific reasons why only a set of ingredients are offered by the priests in every Shiva Abhishek.

3 The items like curd or milk and Chandana (sandalwood paste) are used in the Abhishek to pacify Lord Shiva and ease the heat absorbed by the Linga.

4 The mixture of honey and ghee (clarified butter) is used to receive Moksha (liberation) and enhancement of art and talent.

5 Not many people know that even sugar is used during Abhishek. It is said that by doing so one can get rid of enmity.

6 People also blend these items together into Panchamruta (Panch or five holy items) and use it together to receive wealth.

7 The tender coconut water is another cooling agent that is considered as a important item because it provides full satisfaction in life.

8 The Linga is traditionally coated with Vibhuti or Bhasma to transmit energy from Linga to our body.

9 The water is poured on the Linga to receive peace. Along with these ingredients many fragrant oils are also poured down on the Linga.
