Rituals are a set of established, repeated, and symbolic actions or behaviors that hold special significance within a cultural, religious, or social context. These actions are often carried out in a prescribed manner and are believed to influence or facilitate certain outcomes, such as spiritual connection, social cohesion, or personal transformation. Rituals can range from simple daily routines to complex religious ceremonies, and they vary widely across different cultures and belief systems. Research on rituals explores their psychological, social, and cultural functions, as well as their role in shaping individual and group identities, beliefs, and behaviors. Scholars in fields such as anthropology, psychology, sociology, and religious studies investigate the origins, meanings, and effects of rituals in various contexts to better understand their impact on human experience and society.
