Overview
Rudra Homam for families in Chowk
Rudra Homam centres on the Sri Rudram from the Krishna Yajurveda, one of the most revered Vedic hymns to Lord Shiva. The Pandits chant the Namakam and Chamakam while offerings of ghee, samidha and other samagri are made into the fire.
Chowk is the old commercial heart of Varanasi, a dense network of lanes filled with wholesale markets, silk and sari shops, sweet shops and tall old houses. It lies in the old city between Godowlia and Maidagin, with the lanes towards Kashi Vishwanath close by.
अग्निमीळे पुरोहितं यज्ञस्य देवमृत्विजम्।
होतारं रत्नधातमम्॥
Agnim īḷe purohitaṁ yajñasya devam ṛtvijam, hotāraṁ ratnadhātamam.
