Overview
Havan for families in Pandeypur
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.
Pandeypur is a busy, growing residential area in the northern part of Varanasi, on the road towards Sarnath. Its main crossing is lined with shops, clinics and schools, and the colonies around it have filled with new houses and apartment buildings in recent years.

होतारं रत्नधातमम्॥
Agnim īḷe purohitaṁ yajñasya devam ṛtvijam, hotāraṁ ratnadhātamam.
