Ritual aesthetics examines how sensory experiences within rituals create meaning and emotional connections, shaping participants' perceptions and social interactions. By integrating visual, auditory, and performative elements, ritual aesthetics encapsulate cultural values, transforming ordinary actions into profound, symbolic expressions.
