Overview
Havan for families in Ravindrapuri
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.
Ravindrapuri is one of the better-planned residential colonies of south Varanasi, with wider roads, independent houses, apartment buildings, restaurants and clinics. It lies close to Bhelupur, Durgakund and Lanka.
