Cantonment · Varanasi
A general Vedic fire ritual for homes and occasions, offering prayers through Agni for purification and blessings. Book an experienced Pandit for your home or venue in Cantonment, Varanasi.
Overview
A havan, also called yagna or homa, is one of the oldest forms of Vedic worship. Offerings of ghee, samagri and grains are made into a consecrated fire while mantras are chanted, with Agni regarded as the messenger who carries prayers to the deities.
The Cantonment area is one of the greener, more spacious parts of Varanasi, close to Varanasi Junction railway station. Wide roads, older bungalows and several well-known hotels give it a calmer feel than the busy centre.
