involves placing a statue of Kangiten on a brass basin and pouring (abhisheka) consecrated warm oil on it using a ladle 108 times
Perfumed pure sesame oil is commonly used for the rite, though tradition claims that it originally employed ghee mixed with honey (蘇蜜油, somitsu-yu).
It is considered the most sacred and potent of the deity's rituals but also the most arcane, conducted outside of the public gaze
it is restricted to monks who have received proper initiation into the rite (performance by unqualified individuals is strictly forbidden
The ritual is symbolically interpreted as representing Vinayaka's conversion and initiation (abhisheka) into the Buddhist path during which the former demon king's evil nature and mental defilements (kleshas) are washed away thereby revealing his true nature as a manifestation of Vairochana Buddha. Likewise, it is believed to purify the practitioner and devotees as well
