What is Udaka Shanti?
Udaka Shanti is a Vedic ritual in which water in a kalasha is sanctified by the chanting of many Vedic hymns — the Shanti mantras, Rudram, Purusha Suktam and others — and then sprinkled on the family and the home. It is traditionally done before griha pravesham, weddings, upanayanam and seemantham, and after an illness.
The pandits chant together for about two hours; the water carries the peace of those hymns.
