Overview

Havan for families in Sarnath

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.

Sarnath, a few kilometres north-east of central Varanasi, is revered around the world as the place where the Buddha gave his first sermon after enlightenment. Its stupas, monasteries and museum draw pilgrims and visitors from many countries throughout the year.

Planning Your Puja in Sarnath

Rituals are arranged at homes and hotels, not at the Buddhist heritage sites.
Allow extra travel time if you plan to reach the ghats in Varanasi for a sunrise ritual.
Newer houses in the area often have terraces or open space suitable for a small havan.
Hotels here may host international guests; confirm the property allows a puja before planning.
Tell the Pandit the occasion so the right mantras are chosen.
Samagri is not included in the dakshina; it is at an additional cost, agreed after discussion with Pandit ji.
