Dr. Shashiji will bring Paduka-s and the plate in which the Abhishekam is performed.

Just as a Shiva Linga represents Siva, a Saligrama represents Vishnu, in the same way, the Padukas (sandals) of the teacher represent to the student not the sandals, but the concept behind. What we are invoking is Brahman, the Lord. But we cannot directly go to Him. We want a symbol. There is no symbol more sacred than the Padukas of the Teacher. We wash the Padukas and worship them, as though they are the Lord himself. We clean them with love, put sacred ash, adorn with sandal paste and do all that we do in a Puja at the temple; we worship the Padukas as though they are that Siva Linga or a Saligrama, invoking Him, the Ideal.
