Description:

Tula Poornima is a powerful time, as identified by sages, to address life challenges through a ceremony to Lord Shiva. During this annual event, a Shiva Lingam is anointed with cooked rice, symbolizing energy and power, to invoke Lord Shiva's blessings. Performing Rice-Abishekam on this day is believed to purify bad karma from past lives and enhance current life, leading to happiness and fulfillment. Rice, resulting from the union of the five natural elements, adds significance to the Anna Abishekam ritual, honoring Shiva as the universal protector.
