Burning rituals are ceremonial practices that involve the act of setting objects or offerings on fire. These rituals are often performed to symbolize purification, transformation, or the release of negative energies. Cultures around the world, including those in Hinduism and Buddhism, use burning rituals to honor deities or ancestors, as well as to mark significant life events. In many traditions, items such as incense, paper money, or personal belongings are burned to convey messages to the spiritual realm or to facilitate the passage of souls. The smoke produced during these rituals is believed to carry prayers and intentions upward, creating a connection between the physical and spiritual worlds.
