AaSpelling

ab·lu·tions

?Which word?

Keep the washing words together: ablutions (washing yourself), bathing, cleansing, purification (making pure, often in a religious sense), lavation (rare, washing).

धोने के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: ablutions (स्वयं को धोना), bathing, cleansing, purification (शुद्धिकरण, प्रायः धार्मिक अर्थ में), lavation (दुर्लभ, धोना)।

§Grammar and usage

Usage: ablutions is used in the plural, often humorously ('perform your morning ablutions'); in religion it means ritual washing before prayer (such as wudu before namaz).

प्रयोग में ablutions plural में आता है, प्रायः हास्य में ('perform your morning ablutions'); धर्म में इसका अर्थ प्रार्थना से पहले अनुष्ठानिक प्रक्षालन है (जैसे नमाज़ से पहले वज़ू)।
