What is jalabhishek?

Jalabhishek is the offering of water to a deity, most often the Shiva Linga. In Hindu tradition, water stands for purity, and offering it is a humble act of worship.

Devotees commonly pour water on Mondays, which are traditionally kept for Lord Shiva. Many also do so during the month of Shravan and on Maha Shivratri.

One listing here is titled Gangajal Jalabhishek. Gangajal means water of the river Ganga, which many Hindus regard as sacred.
