In

Classical Mandaic: ࡌࡀࡌࡁࡅࡂࡀ), is sacramental drinking water used in rituals such as the masbuta (baptism).[1][2]

The mambuha can be served in a kapta (pronounced kafta), a shallow brass drinking bowl that is 11 inches or less in perimeter, or in a qanina (glass bottle).[3]

Traditionally, mambuha is taken directly from the yardna (river, i.e. the Euphrates, Tigris, or Karun rivers), but the Mandaean diaspora often uses treated tap water.

Prayers

Various prayers in the Qolasta, including prayers 33, 44, 45, 60, and 82, are recited during the drinking of the mambuha.[4]
