Bathing and Holy Dip in Culture
Bathing is very important in our culture. It signifies purification.
Devotees bathe and wear good clothes before visiting any sacred site or performing Puja. It is God's grace that some extremely cold places, like Badrinath, have natural hot water, facilitating the
bathing and sanitation of the devotees.
Devotees visit religious sites to take holy dips e.g. for Ganga Dussehra (it was yesterday), many devotees took a holy dip in the Ganga.
