The cult of the water offering sent on October 24, 2025 (10:59) by Lorisb. 11 comments, 105 views.

at 70mm, 1/25 f/7.1, ISO 400, hand held. Angkor, Cambodia.

L'immagine mostra un uomo che versa acqua attorno ad un altare di incenso e candele accese. Questo è un rituale comune in alcune tradizioni religiose e spirituali, in particolare in quelle asiatiche. Versare acqua su un idolo, una divinità o un altare è un gesto di culto e riverenza, che si ritrova in molte tradizioni, come l'abhisheka nel Buddismo e nell'Induismo.

Purificazione e rigenerazione con il rito dell'acqua

L'acqua è vista come un agente di purificazione del corpo e dello spirito, liberando dai peccati e dalle impurità terrene. Riti come il battesimo usano l'acqua per simboleggiare una nuova nascita spirituale e l'ingresso in una comunità.

L'atto di versare acqua come offerta può avere diversi significati a seconda della tradizione, può essere vista come un ponte tra il mondo spirituale e quello materiale, rappresentando la vita e l'amore che la genera.
Nei braceri oltre i bastoncini di incenso si possono trovare anche mozziconi di sigarette consumate, forse un voto a voler chiudere con il vizio del fumo.

Man has always sought contact with the divine with ancestral rites that are lost in the mists of time. Excellent reportage photo and interesting explanatory text. Congratulations Loris.
