According to scriptures, Lord Shiva remains Abhisheka Priya, the one who is very fond of abhisheka, the hydration ceremony, or the sacred bath. He is, in fact, said to love remaining drenched in water. Hence, performing Abhishek (abhisheka or abhishekam) to the Lord is considered as perhaps the most effective means of receiving his blessings. Shiva is generally worshipped in his Linga or Lingam form, which is an aniconic manifestation of the Lord. And this is how he is enshrined in the sanctum in most of the temples. This is the reason why a sacred pot or vessel is hung over the Lingam in many temples from which water keeps on dripping down gently on the Lingam, always. Hence, abhishekam to the Shiva Linga remains as the most common and popular form of worship that can be offered to the Lord.

This abhishekam, in its most common form, is performed by pouring water over the Lingam, amidst the chanting of the sacred hymns. Apart from water, abhisheka is also performed using other liquids and materials like milk, ghee, curd, honey, sandal powder, etc. On special occasions like Shivratri, people offer prayers and do abhisheka with materials like curd, coconut water, ghee, honey, etc.

Lord Shiva can be worshipped on any day and at any place, and what matters is only devotion.

Thus Abhishek remains the most propitious worship of the Lord, while Monday remains the chosen day for praying to Shiva. Therefore, performing Shiva Abhishekam  is naturally remains the best way of pleasing this God and seeking his divine grace.

Hence, praying sincerely to the Lord, and offering worship to him with faith on Mondays by performing abhisheka to him, can earn for the devotees the Lord’s compassion. This can remove their miseries, and provide them with peace and joy, apart from material prosperity.
