Purification rituals are practices found in various cultures and religions aimed at cleansing individuals or spaces from impurities or negative influences. These rituals often involve water, fire, or specific herbs, and can include activities like bathing, chanting, or the use of sacred objects. They are believed to restore spiritual balance and promote well-being. In many traditions, such as Hinduism and Buddhism, purification rituals are essential before important events, like weddings or religious ceremonies. Similarly, in Christianity, rituals like baptism symbolize spiritual cleansing. These practices serve to prepare participants mentally and spiritually for significant life transitions or communal gatherings.
