FAQs

Spiritual accountability is communal and sacred—rites are validated by purity disciplines and by worthy witnesses.

No tīrtha is named; the emphasis is on proper ritual setting and witnesses.

The participant should be prepared (damp clothing/fasting), and ordeals must be performed in the presence of the deity and brāhmaṇas.
