Achhinjal (Maithili: अछिनजल) is a term used for sacred water in the Mithila region of the Indian subcontinent. It is used in Hindu religious rituals and worship purposes. It is kept in lota which is a globular water vessel generally made of brass. In the tradition of Mithila, once water is intended Achhinjal for worship, becomes impure if used for any other purpose.
