With farming coming to a halt and people forced indoors, the time is traditionally used to rejuvenate the body and mind. Many traditional customs are associated with this period, like reading the Ramayana daily and…

how birgs bathe? what are their hygienic tools (brushes, toothbrushes, skincare, sanitizer analogs, etc) like? do they have different washing systems, like how we have baths vs showers? is there any culture/religion specific forms of bathing/cleaning?
Birgs have a variety of options for hygiene, and almost none of them involve water! Sand or dust baths are the most common choice, some indoor baths even have heated floors to keep them warm on cold nights :) often fragrant herbs are mixed in with the sand to give the bather a pleasant aromas well as to help repel parasites.
Finer powders may be rubbed into the skin without the need of a whole-body bath; sometimes these powders are tinted to enhance color, or contain mica flakes to make the fur literally sparkle. Certain oils for skin and fur health are used by southern cultures, but the Twowi swear by dust alone.

Birgs use brushes of all sorts, dancing in size from handheld to big enough to run your whole body against. Body brushes are typically made of a wood or metal frame and set with stiff plastic fibers. These are especially popular during shedding time, as a birg’s hair is not separate from the cuticle and comes off along with the entire outer layer of skin. It gets itchy!

The Ritual
Water, this eternal symbol of cleansing and life, permeates human history as a potent medium for rituals that strengthen connections among people—be it in love, friendship, or honorable remembrance.
In antiquity, the Greeks utilized water in the ritual of the Loutron, a bath often taken before sacred festivals or marriage. Similar customs were found in ancient Rome, where baths served not only physical cleanliness but also social and spiritual purification. The Roman baths were places of encounter and relaxation, where business, politics, and social bonds were formed.
In medieval Europe, the ritual bath was part of many Christian ceremonies. Baptism, for instance, symbolizes spiritual cleansing and initiation into the community to this day. Knights, too, were immersed in holy waters before their ascension to symbolize purity and readiness to serve.
In Norse culture, water ceremonies were performed to honor ancestors and gods. The practice of ship burials, where a boat with the deceased and their valuables was set upon the water and ignited, speaks to the profound significance water held as a threshold to the otherworld.
The bond among warriors was also strengthened through water rituals. The legendary warrior bands of the Sacred Band of Thebes were tied not only on the battlefield but also in communal purification ceremonies, their bonds of loyalty and protection forged.
In modern times, ritual baths in various cultures often serve to mark significant life transitions. In Japan, for example, the communal bath, the Furo, is maintained as an act of cleansing and social exchange. In modern spiritual communities, rituals are performed that draw on these ancient traditions to honor the connections between people—be they lovers, circles of friends, or communities coming together to remember their ancestors.
Thus, water, as a bearer of tradition and renewal, continues to flow through the ceremonies and rituals of people, as an expression of respect, connection, and remembrance that form the essence of our human experience.
