ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Theertham

Okay kiddo, let's talk about theertham! When we go to a temple, we often see water in pots that people use to sprinkle on their heads and drink a little bit. That water is called theertham.

Theertham is very special water because it is blessed by the gods and goddesses of the temple. It is said to have special powers that can cleanse our body, mind, and soul.

People believe that by drinking theertham, we are purifying ourselves and getting closer to the divine. It is also believed that the theertham can heal us from illnesses and protect us from harm.

So next time we visit a temple, don't forget to take a sip of theertham and let it make us feel refreshed and blessed!
