Overview

Dhanvantari Homam for families in Rathyatra

Dhanvantari Homam is a Vedic fire offering dedicated to Lord Dhanvantari, who is described in the Puranas as emerging from the churning of the ocean holding the pot of amrit. He is revered as the deity of Ayurveda and healing.

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.

अग्निमीळे पुरोहितं यज्ञस्य देवमृत्विजम्।

होतारं रत्नधातमम्॥

Rig Veda 1.1.1

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 name and gotra of the person the prayer is for.
Continue all medical treatment; the homam is a prayer that complements care.
