Overview

Saraswati Homam for families in Rathyatra

Saraswati Homam is a Vedic fire offering to Goddess Saraswati, the deity of knowledge, speech, music and the arts. Offerings are made into the fire with Saraswati mantras and stotras.

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.
Keep books, pens or a musical instrument to place before the Goddess, if your family follows this custom.
Share the student's name and birth star.
