This ritual of Jüngter (meaning “Treasury of Natural Resources”) is an elaborate ritual for the preparation and blessing of treasure pouches and releasing them in rivers, lakes, and oceans. The preliminary part includes pujas and preparation of the vases with pure and sacred substances, such as precious stones, grains, medicinal herbs, natural fragrances, blessed nectars, etc. This ritual requires meditative visualisation, making offerings, conducting consecration, chanting prayers and supplication, and blessing of the treasure pouches.
During the ceremony, participants are encouraged to recite the Dzambhala mantra as many times as possible. The ceremony ends with prayers of auspiciousness to bring happiness and well-being, which is then followed by releasing the treasure pouches into the waters or placing them at sacred sites.
By releasing the treasure pouches into the waters, they are believed to purify the water bodies and bless the numberless aquatic beings including the Nagas, who not only have the power to grant wealth but also have the power to cause illnesses and diseases. Similarly, placing them in clean places on land is believed to bless the area and its inhabitants including the Yakshas, who are also the guardians of wealth and riches. In the early Himalayan cultures, this ritual was performed to bring wealth and prosperity, success in business, agriculture, animal husbandry, and the wellness of body and mind.
