Kumbabishekam, also known as Samprokshanai, is an ancient Hindu ritual performed to consecrate a temple or an idol. The term “Kumbabishekam” derives from the word ‘Kumbha,’ meaning ‘pot,’ and ‘Abhishekam,’ meaning ‘pouring sacred liquids.’ This ritual is typically performed when a temple or a deity’s idol has been newly installed or renovated. It involves the anointing of the idol or temple with holy water, milk, curd, honey, ghee, and other sacred substances from a ceremonial pot (Kumbha).
The ritual signifies the purification and empowerment of the temple or deity, invoking divine blessings for the prosperity and well-being of the community. It is a momentous event in the life of any temple or religious institution.
