In Mandaeism, Bihram (Classical Mandaic: ࡁࡉࡄࡓࡀࡌ) or Bihram Rabba (Classical Mandaic: ࡁࡉࡄࡓࡀࡌ ࡓࡁࡀ, "Bihram the Great") is an uthra (angel or guardian)[1]: 8 who presides over the masbuta, or baptism ritual.[2] Bihram is mentioned in Mandaean texts such as the Qolasta. Many Mandaean masbuta ritual prayers invoke the name of Bihram.[3]
