• Source: Riha (Mandaeism)

In Mandaeism, riha (Classical Mandaic: ࡓࡉࡄࡀ) is incense used for religious rituals. It is offered by Mandaean priests on a ritual clay tray called kinta in order to establish laufa (communion) between humans in Tibil (Earth) and uthras (celestial beings) in the World of Light during rituals such as the masbuta (baptism) and masiqta (death mass), as well as during priest initiation ceremonies. Various prayers in the Qulasta are recited when incense is offered. Incense must be offered during specific stages of the typically lengthy and complex rituals.




In the Qulasta



Several prayers in the Qulasta are recited when offering incense, including prayers 8 ("riha ḏ-basim") and 34.
