Question

I want to know the festivals,rituals or practices related to water.The ones in which water is used for a special reason.

Answer 1

Baptism. Muslims use water in a cleansing ritual of ablution. They wash the face and ankles and hands to cleanse the sins,.
The Congolese have infertile women stand naked in the rain to try to increase fertility.
There are cultures that give birth under water.

Answer 2

Water, being the second main source of life after carbon, oxygen and hydrogen (the first 3 making up 99 percent of all life on the planet, given that water is H2O - 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen, and the first main source being carbon as all life is carbon based), is it any wonder that life has a special connection to the things that gave it life in the first place.
The first major living ritual of water is to consume it, by drinking it, eating substance that contains it, absorbing it through skin, even breathing it through humidity. You are ritualistically consuming water right now, as you read this email, in at least 2 ways. this is keeping you alive, and I'd say that's a pretty damn special reason to do it.
Some of the practices involving water include cleaning, growing, controlling, transmitting, containing, transporting, and distributing. It has been used for religious and spiritual purposes such as blessings and curses, healing and injury, birth and death, sex and marriage, murder and escape. It is directly and intricately woven into existence from the moment to the millenia.
There have not been too many carnival type festivals of water, but high daily temperatures in the majority of locations where humans reside have spurred commercial interest in countless types and styles of water related recreational venues. The public open space on the Las Vegas Strip in Nevada USA has even used water and light as a decorative world class attraction, reiterating the beauty of simplicity and how easy it is to control and manipulate into art.

I hope this answer has highlighted enough the importance of being specific and careful when wording your question, and I hope you find the answer you are looking for, even if it doesn't come from me.

Reality is merely a figment of your imagination, but how sweet it is.

Answer 3

There is a ritual in Red-Neck world that involves water. It's called the Saturday Night Bath. The reason for this is that by Friday night Pa (man of the house) is pretty ripe but we know that Saturday night is coming. Ma fills that bath up for Pa and he's in the tub soaking for almost an hour, leaving a huge ring around the tub when he finally gets out he's all pruney. It's used for getting clean and getting prepared for Sunday Church services. Pa don't want to go to the house of the Lord Stinkin!
