Detailed explanation-1: -A folkloristic ritual in which a divinity, a village or divine objects from a temple are purified with holy water from the ocean, or sacred wells, considered “sources of life” (Tirta Amerta) in Hinduism, liberating thoughts, impure actions and negative influences.
Detailed explanation-2: -Purification means being made pure or clean again. When humanity fell into sin, it tainted everything about us. We are unable to do anything to make ourselves pure or clean again. We need someone far greater than we are in order to be purified of our sin.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hinduism (bathing in the Ganges) Pilgrims who return home often take a bottle of Ganges water with them. Many pilgrims bathe in the river; they believe it washes away their sins so it is a cleansing process.
