Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The five days of Parwanaya festival, the most important in the Mandaean calendar, begin with baptism. Ganzibra Najah and Tarmida Sam are performing Tamasha (purifying ritual) in preparation for Masbuta (baptism). This baptism pool was built inside a big room and resourced with water from a nearby creek. It is one of two pools on this site, on a small farm next to a creek around 2 hours drive from Ahvaz. The large room where this pool is situated also contains a shkhenta (a north-facing hut built from mud and bamboo, used for rituals).

Notes from Yuhana Nashmi's fieldwork, including the Parwanaya (Panja) festival and travels in Khuzestan, March 2015.
