Purification rites are ceremonial practices aimed at cleansing individuals or spaces from impurities, both physical and spiritual. These rituals are often found in various cultures and religions, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism. They may involve water, fire, or other elements believed to have purifying properties, and are performed for various reasons, including preparation for worship or significant life events. The significance of purification rites varies across traditions. In Hinduism, for example, bathing in the Ganges River is considered a way to wash away sins. In Judaism, the ritual of mikvah involves immersion in water for spiritual renewal. These practices reflect a deep cultural belief in the importance of cleanliness and spiritual readiness.
