Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier3
Wikipedia's article on ritual purification across traditions, the lower tier reflecting that it is a crowd sourced, not independently peer reviewed encyclopedia entry, reliable as a broad comparative overview and less reliable for the specific practice of any one tradition, which a dedicated source on that tradition would need to settle. NotesWikipedia's article on ritual purification, consulted 2026-08-11. A perpetually community-edited reference page rather than a peer-reviewed publication; used here for its section on Hindu bathing occasions beyond the daily bath, the pre-wedding punyahavachanam rite and post-mourning bathing among them, standard reference facts.
