Mahamrityunjay essentials
A protective jaap and puja invoking Lord Shiva as the "conqueror of death," performed with sankalp, abhishek and repeated chanting of the mantra for health, safety and peace of mind.
What is Mahamrityunjay Puja?
Mahamrityunjay Puja centres around the Mahamrityunjay Mantra, one of the most sacred and powerful mantras in Hindu tradition, drawn from the Rigveda and dedicated to Lord Shiva in his form as the "conqueror of death." The mantra is chanted to seek protection from untimely death, serious illness, fear and negative influences, and to invoke Lord Shiva's blessings for a long, healthy and peaceful life. It is one of the most widely recited mantras in North Indian Vedic tradition, often chanted during times of illness, before surgery, during difficult planetary periods, or simply as an ongoing practice for well-being.
Pandit Hariom Shastri performs Mahamrityunjay Puja at homes across Bangalore following the traditional sequence — beginning with sankalp to state the family's intention, followed by invocation of Lord Ganesha, and then the Mahamrityunjay Jaap itself, during which the mantra is chanted a fixed number of times, commonly in multiples of 108, using a mala to keep count. The jaap is often accompanied by an abhishek of the Shivling with water, milk and other sacred substances, and may conclude with a short havan depending on the scale of the puja requested by the family.
The number of chants performed can vary considerably depending on the purpose of the puja — a shorter jaap of 108 or 1,116 repetitions may be performed for general well-being, while a more elaborate ceremony involving lakhs of chants (a Laghu Rudra or Maha Rudra scale) may be arranged for serious health concerns, often over multiple sittings or with several priests. Pandit Ji discusses your family's specific need before the ceremony so that the appropriate scale and duration of jaap can be planned.

Mahamrityunjay Puja can be performed on any day, though Mondays, Maha Shivratri and Pradosh dates are considered especially auspicious for this jaap.
