Pt. Shri Pranesh Achar (Ananda Rangan)
Pooja
The answer is that we may perform Abhisheka using only pure water. While doing so, we should mentally and verbally invoke the names of the respective substances—such as milk, curd, ghee, honey, etc.—and offer the water as if it were those items.
Thus, even when the actual materials are not available, Abhisheka can be validly performed through water accompanied by the appropriate mantras and intention.
In this manner, Abhisheka may be properly performed even under such limitations, as supported by scriptural guidance.
