Lakhram Puja (Maithili: लखराम पूजा) is a popular tradition of worshipping Parthiva Shivalingas by a group of devotees in the villages of the Mithila region in the Indian subcontinent. In the puja, a resolution is taken for one lakh Mahadeva Shivalingas. And one and a quarter lakh Shivlingas are worshipped. It is performed for the welfare of the people. According to Hindu adherents, it is believed that the Lakhram Puja as well as Rudrabhishekam destroy sins and bring welfare to the world.[1][2][3][4][5]
