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.
Nadesar lies next to the Cantonment side of Varanasi, not far from Varanasi Junction railway station. It is one of the city's more spacious areas, with tree-lined roads, older bungalows, government offices and several well-known heritage and business hotels.
