Holy Kaaba given bath with Zamzam and perfumed in revered ceremony

The sacred ceremony of bathing the Kaaba was conducted in Makkah, with the door of the Holy Kaaba opened to perform this revered ritual. 

According to the 24NewsHD TV channel, this elaborate tradition occurs twice a year and involves washing the Kaaba with Zamzam and rose water. 

The TV channel reported that after bathing, the Kaaba is perfumed with fine fragrances such as pure OOD, rose water, and incense.

The interior of the Kaaba is washed using 45 litres of scented Zamzam water. Typically, the door is opened for the washing right after dawn prayers. 

The inner walls of the Kaaba are three metres high, with the ceiling covered in green silken cloth.

The Maqame-e-Ibrahim, which bears the footprints of Prophet Ibrahim (RA), is also washed during the ceremony.
