Overview
Havan for families in Manduadih
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.
Manduadih is in the south-western part of Varanasi, around the railway station that was renamed Banaras station. The area has a mix of older settlements, residential colonies, markets and newer houses and apartments.
