Made Made Snana (ಮಡೆ ಮಡೆ ಸ್ನಾನ), also Made Snana, is a religious practice observed in some Hindu temples of Karnataka. ''Made'' (ಮಡೆ) in Tulu Language refers to the left-overs after a meal, and the word ''Snana''(ಸ್ನಾನ) in Kannada & Tulu means "bath".〔 ==Practice== Temples in South India, hold communal meals for people of all sects, during special religious occasions. These meals, are typically of the traditional South Indian variety, where people are served food over plantain leaves on the temple floor. The ritual of ''Made Made Snana'' involves devotees rolling over the plantain leaves, once food has been partaken by Brahmins. The devotees then take a Holy dip in the nearby Kumaradhara River, after which the ritual is said to be complete.〔 The practice is said to be more than 500 years old.〔 It is believed that the ritual rids one of bad Karma, skin diseases and other ailments. ''Made Made Snana'' is predominantly practiced on certain festive days in ''Subramanya'' temples of Karnataka, but has also been performed at vaishnavite places such as the Krishna Math, Udupi. The practice is actively practiced in the Kukke Subramanya Temple, and in the Subramanya temples of Kalavara, Kundapura Taluk and Ramanathapura, Hassan District. The constitutional status of the practice has yet to be decided in the Indian courts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Made Made Snana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
