( Lord Shiva · Kashi Vishwanath, Varanasi )
Sought for protection from untimely harm, recovery from illness and a long, healthy life.
Maha Mrityunjaya Jaap is the repeated chanting of the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra, a verse of the Rigveda (7.59.12) addressed to Tryambaka, a name of Shiva. A priest repeats it an agreed number of times and often closes with a havan.

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम् । उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात् ॥
Om tryambakaṁ yajāmahe sugandhiṁ puṣṭivardhanam | urvārukamiva bandhanān mṛtyor mukṣīya mā 'mṛtāt ||
We worship the three-eyed one, fragrant and nourishing. Like a cucumber from its stem, may I be freed from death, not from immortality.

( Samagri )
Puja thali
Havan samagri (sacred wood, ghee and offerings for the fire)
Dakshina for the officiating priest(s)( Context matters )
The temple's own listed Mahamrityunjaya Jap Puja is a large panel package (₹1,00,000, 32 shastris, includes puja thali/dakshina/havan samagri/priest refreshments) — a different scale from a single-priest sankalp booked in a devotee's name. The temple's published details do not confirm a chanting count for this listing; confirm the exact service scope with the temple.
