Hindu vidhi of taking bath

According to the hindu vedas, the correct method (vidhi) to take the bath is to sit on a wooden platform with your legs crossed. Fill the bucket of water and resite the below shloka.

                    गंगे  च  यमुने  चैव  गोदावरी  सरस्वती,
                    नर्मदे  सिन्धु  कावेरी  जलेस्मिन  संनिधिम  कुरु

                    Gange cha Yamune chaiv Godavari Saraswati
                    Narmade Sindhu Kaveri jalesmin sanidhim kuru

Translation of the shloka:
In this water, I invoke the presence of holy waters from the rivers Ganga, Yamuna, Godavari, Saraswati, Narmada, Sindhu and Kaveri.

Now you can take a mug and take water from the bucket and start poring it onto your head.
