The holy water is believed to remove negativity and to chase away evil spirits, and it is sprinkled or poured to purify persons, places or objects. Bhumpas are widely used by Gurus in many types of ceremonies, from elaborate purification ritualsfor new houses, monuments and holy sites, to simple blessings for disciples meant to purify and protect them from harmfulforces. Bhumpas may also be used by practitioners to make water offerings; in such cases the water is regarded as pure nectar.
