Sahasra Dharabhisheka

Sometimes a plate with 1,000 holes is used to perform abhisheka. It looks like a shower. This is called Sahasra Dharabhisheka.

Why did Vibhishana defect from Ravana to join Rama in the Ramayana?

Vibhishana's opposition to Ravana's actions, particularly the kidnapping of Sita, and his commitment to dharma led him to defect and ally with Rama in the pursuit of righteousness. His defection is an act of moral courage, showing that sometimes it is necessary to take a stand against wrongdoing, regardless of personal cost. This can encourage you to make tough decisions when confronted with ethical dilemmas in your own life.
