The lota supplies the water needed for cleaning up. Nuff said. :)
Since taking the lota is so much a part of daily life - there was a lovely joke I heard recently - in short - grandfather before going to outhouse asks for spoon. Half an hour latter even grandmother asks for spoon before going. Our narrator is puzzled. Why the spoon instead of the lota? He is told, latch of outhouse is missing the bolt. We put the spoon there. :)
Thanks, Sunil. I knew that was its basic purpose, and have since decided that pursuing any curiosity about the specifics beyond that would be in violation of the generally genteel tone of this blog. (Yeah, right.)
