Overview

Gayatri Homam for families in Rathyatra

Gayatri Homam is built around the Gayatri Mantra from the Rig Veda, one of the most revered mantras in Hindu tradition. Offerings are made into the fire as the mantra is chanted a set number of times, often 108 or 1008.

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.
Decide the number of japa and ahutis with the Pandit.
Share names and gotra for the sankalp.
