Śrī Naṭarāja Abhiṣekam 2204: Pomona, California

Śrī Naṭarāja Abhiṣekam refers collectively to six annual ceremonial abhiṣekams (sacred bathing rites) performed for Lord Naṭarāja, the cosmic-dancer form of Śiva, at the Cidambaram Temple. Each of the six is anchored to a distinct Tamil solar month (the Sun's transit through a specific rāśi) combined with a particular tithi or nakṣatra prevailing at either dusk or the pre-dawn hours.

Together, these six days trace a yearly rhythm of devotion at one of the five Pañca Bhūta Sthalams: the Cidambaram Temple, uniquely dedicated to Śiva as Naṭarāja and representing the element of Ākāśa (space). Devotees regard witnessing the abhiṣekam on any of these specific days as carrying particular merit.
