Overview

Ayushya Homam for families in Rathyatra

Ayushya Homam is a Vedic homam dedicated to Ayur Devata, the deity associated with lifespan (ayus). It is especially common in South Indian households, where it is traditionally performed on a child's first birthday and on birthdays reckoned by janma nakshatra, the lunar star under which a person was born.

Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.

ॐ त्र्यम्बकं यजामहे सुगन्धिं पुष्टिवर्धनम्।

उर्वारुकमिव बन्धनान्मृत्योर्मुक्षीय माऽमृतात्॥

Mahamrityunjaya Mantra, Rig Veda 7.59.12

Planning Your Puja in Rathyatra

The crossing is congested for much of the day; early-morning slots are easiest.
During the Rath Yatra fair, expect road diversions and heavy crowds nearby.
Commercial buildings may restrict open flames, so check before a havan.
Parking can be limited near the crossing; arrange a drop-off point for the Pandit.
Share the birth details and the birth star.
Keep new clothes for the child and prasad for guests.
