What the rite involves
The rite itself
A Vedic priest (or, for the temple's own largest package, a panel of shastris) repeats the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra a fixed number of times, usually closed with a havan (fire offering).
What it traditionally uses
- Puja thali
- Havan samagri (sacred wood, ghee and offerings for the fire)
- Dakshina for the officiating priest(s)
Who performs it
A Vedic priest engaged for the sankalp; the temple's own published package uses a panel of 32 shastris.
How long it runs
Approx. 2–3 hours · 1.25 lakh jaap
Where it belongs
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. This pass could not verify the specific '1.25 lakh jaap' count above against the temple's own page; it predates this research pass and is flagged, not asserted as temple-confirmed.
