Overview

Rudra Homam for families in Rathyatra

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.

Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.

अग्निमीळे पुरोहितं यज्ञस्य देवमृत्विजम्।

होतारं रत्नधातमम्॥

Rig Veda 1.1.1

Planning Your Puja in Rathyatra

The crossing is congested for much of the day; early-morning slots are easiest.
During the Rath Yatra fair, expect road diversions and heavy crowds nearby.
Commercial buildings may restrict open flames, so check before a havan.
Parking can be limited near the crossing; arrange a drop-off point for the Pandit.
Choose Mondays, Pradosh or Sawan dates with the Pandit.
Share names and gotra for the sankalp.
