People mainly perform this ritual in Shiv temples, where they bathe the deity with cooked rice as a ritual of hydration ceremony. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Moreover, it is widely celebrated in South India, mainly in the <strong>Thanjavur, Tiruvarur,<\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\"><strong> and Nagapattinam<\/strong> districts of Tamil Nadu.

However, Anna Abishekam is different because, along with all these ingredients, tons of cooked rice, vegetables, and fruits cover the Shiv Linga. Rice is the main ingredient in this ritual, symbolising wealth, abundance, prosperity, and fertility.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">Additionally, the Shiv temples host the annual Anna Abhishekam ritual. This festival celebrates and thanks Lord Shiva, who protects the five elements crucial for vibrant cultivation and effective fertilisation. After the harvest season, devotees cook new rice grains on the temple premises during this festival. The ceremony expresses gratitude and thankfulness to Lord Shiva for ensuring abundant harvests.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 18pt;\">How is the Anna Abhishekam ceremony performed?\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; font-size: 14pt;\">The Shiv temples in South India follow a step-by-step process to perform the Anna Abhiskema ceremony.
