Overview
Rudra Homam for families in Sarnath
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.
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.
