A whole generation is moving away from highly ritualistic practices into a more thinking, spiritual process. By spiritual, I don't refer to a cult or a guru. In your heart, you continue to feel the presence of people who've been dear to you even after they've left.

Indian Actress

Ritualistic actions follow a specific, unchanging pattern, showing a deep-rooted habit or tradition.

Predictable Pattern

Not Always Religious

Ritualistic behavior often includes attention to detail, with each step carried out with care.

Meticulous Detail

Sacred Repetition

Ritualistic practices can vary widely across different cultures and religions.
