Ritual bath

A ritual bath is a ceremonial or spiritual cleansing involving washing the body in a specific, intentional way often prescribed by religious or cultural traditions. It symbolically purifies the individual, preparing them for sacred activities, worship, or spiritual renewal. The process can include the use of particular waters, herbs, or prayers, and emphasizes mindfulness and respect for the tradition's symbolism. Ritual baths serve to promote physical cleanliness while also fostering a sense of spiritual readiness and renewal within the context of the practitioner's belief system.
