QUESTION 185.
Boiler : The boiler is essentially a closed vessel inside which
water is stored. Fuel is burnt in a furnace and hot gasses
are produced. These hot gasses come in contact with water
vessel where the heat of these hot gases transfer to the water
and consequently steam is produced in the boiler. Then this
steam is piped to the turbine of thermal power plant.
The festival is marked by a ritual dip in the waters. The

seekers believe that bathing in these rivers is a means to
prayascitta for past mistakes, and that it cleanses them of
their sins.
