Nishkramana, also known as Nishkarman or Nirikshana, is an ancient Hindu ritual of self-immersion that dates back to the Vedic period. It is a sacred practice of purification and renewal, designed to cleanse the mind, body, and spirit of an individual.

• The ritual involves the individual immersing themselves in a sacred river or body of water, symbolizing the absorption of impurities and the release of negative energies.
• Nishkramana is often performed during the spring equinox, when the energies of the universe are believed to be most conducive to spiritual growth and renewal.
• The ritual is typically performed in a state of trance or meditation, allowing the individual to connect with the divine and access higher states of consciousness.
• After immersing themselves in the water, the individual is believed to be reborn, or "re-born" in a spiritual sense, with a renewed sense of purpose and direction.
