Paduka Abhishekam — Sripada Srivallabha Mahasamsthanam, Pithapuram
What This Remedy Does
Paduka Abhishekam at the Sripada Srivallabha Mahasamsthanam, Pithapuram, is a seva in which the sacred sandals of Sripada Srivallabha are ritually bathed. The Mahasamsthanam's priests offer it in your name, with up to four names and your gotra spoken in the sankalp. A receipt from the Mahasamsthanam, or a confirmation on WhatsApp, follows the abhishekam.
What is Paduka Abhishekam?
A paduka abhishekam bathes the padukas, the sacred sandals of a guru or saint, with milk, water and other materials while mantras are chanted. In the Datta tradition the padukas represent the guru's presence, so the abhishekam honours the guru himself. At Pithapuram it is offered to the padukas of Sripada Srivallabha, whom devotees revere as an incarnation of Dattatreya. The priests recite your name and gotra in the sankalp, the spoken intention that dedicates the seva to you.
Why devotees book it
- Devotion to Sripada Srivallabha as guru, offered in the town devotees revere as his birthplace
- A prayer for peace of mind and clear guidance when a decision or a phase of life feels uncertain
- Thanksgiving to the guru after a prayer is answered or a family milestone passes well
- A blessing for the well-being of the family, with each name spoken in the sankalp
When to book
Thursdays and Purnima, the full-moon day, are the usual days for a Paduka Abhishekam, and Datta Jayanti is another traditional occasion. As paduka abhishekam is part of the Mahasamsthanam's daily programme, a date linked to a family occasion can also be requested. The final date is agreed between you and our team on WhatsApp.
About Sripada Srivallabha Mahasamsthanam
The Sripada Srivallabha Mahasamsthanam is in Pithapuram, a town in the Godavari region of Andhra Pradesh. Devotees revere Sripada Srivallabha as an incarnation of Dattatreya and honour Pithapuram as his birthplace. The daily programme here includes paduka abhishekam, a palanquin seva and annadanam, while a Maha Mrutyunjaya Homam is held on Amavasya, the new moon.
