In Mandaeism, tamasha or á¹amaÅ¡a ( myz, ࡈࡌࡀࡔࡀ, translit=á¹maÅ¡a) is an ablution
Ablution is the act of washing oneself. It may refer to:

The rishama and tamasha ablution rituals, which do not require priestly assistance, are distinct from masbuta, which needs to be performed by a priest. Whereas the tamasha is a "self-immersion" in which devotees dip themselves into the water, during the masbuta, devotees need to be immersed into water by a priest, not by themselves.
