[INDOLOGY] pravesha

[Nagaraj Paturi]

jalapravēśa is a form of committing suicide. But jalādhivās is a temple
ritual, a sculpture /idol installation related ritual.

dēvālayapravēśa seems to be a neologism coined during modern
anti-untouchability movements. not a ritual term.

rāśipravēśa is an astrological term. not a ritual term.
