In India, we offer worship in various forms. One of them is Abishekam, a hydration ceremony performed by pouring holy water and other sacred elements on the deity for cleansing. The chanting of sacred mantras that accompanies this ritual can surround you with positive vibrations and invoke the deity's divine energies and purify you.
Spiritual Significance of Water
Water is a sacred element across religions and is a fundamental component of the Pancha Bhootas (five elements). It is associated with spiritual and physical wellbeing by attaining purity. Water is considered sacred, as in temple tanks, where the holy tanks are believed to contain water that has purifying and cleansing powers. Rivers are considered sacred as it is propitiated as River Goddess.
