Interior of a modern Russian banya
The banya (Russian: баня, IPA: [ˈbanʲə] ) is a traditional Russian steam bath that utilizes a wood stove. It is a significant part of Russian culture, and is typically conducted in a small room or building designed for dry or wet heat sessions. The high heat and steam cause bathers to perspire.
