Jalasparśa (जलस्पर्श) refers to the “contact with holy water”, according to the Śivapurāṇa 2.4.17 (“The Resuscitation of Gaṇeśa”).—Accordingly, after the Gods joined a head to Gaṇeśa’s body: “[...] Immediately after the contact of the holy water (jalasparśa) the boy was resuscitated to life and joined with consciousness. As Śiva willed, the boy woke up as from a sleep. He was handsome, extremely comely. He had the face of an elephant. He was red-complexioned. He was delighted with face beaming. He was brilliant and had fine features. O great sage, on seeing the son of Pārvatī resuscitated to life, they all rejoiced and their miseries came to an end. [...]”.
