In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
Source: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsAvabhṛtha (अवभृथ) or Avabhṛthasnāna refers to “bathing rite (done in the presence of all the gods)” performed at the end of routine festivals, as discussed in chapters 21-22 of the Mārkaṇḍeyasaṃhitā: a Pāñcarātra text comprising some 2200 Sanskrit verses mainly dealing with temple-building, iconography, pūjā (worship procedures), utsava (festivities) and prāyaścitta (expiatory measures).—Description of chapter [utsava-vidhi]: [...] The routine festivals are characterized by (offerings of) flower-buds and blooms, (performance of) rakṣābandha-rites (3b), and a duration of from one to three days; in the end an avabhṛtha-bathing rite is done in the presence of all the gods (1-4). How routine festivals are done is given (5-17). Occasional festivals are then discussed, when they are to be given and their names. These, too, are concluded with the avabhṛtha-observance (18-24). A eulogy of villages that observe such festivals is given (25-30).
Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
