The fire-offering module. Fuel, ghee and the samagri of havan and agnihotra.
The complete fire ritual in one module - the fuel that sustains the flame, the ghee that carries it, and the ahuti offered into it. Wood, splits and cow-dung cakes for the kund; A2 desi cow ghee to feed the fire; and the grains, seeds and consecrated resins offered as the shastras describe.
This is the module of yajna - the oldest and most exacting act of Vedic worship, where every element is received by Agni on behalf of the devotee.
Cow-dung cakes hand-shaped by the families in the Darjeeling foothills who raise the cattle they come from. Mango-wood splits from named orchards. A2 desi cow ghee, Bilona-churned, to carry the flame. The offering itself follows the classical sixteen-element shodashratna structure - grains whole, resins raw, botanicals whole-form, weighed and blended by hand.
Chemically treated timber. Compressed sawdust "logs". Pre-mixed factory havan samagri whose composition changes silently by season. Powdered resins. Anything with fragrance oil added to disguise sub-standard base material.
Pandits conducting havan and homa ceremonies, agnihotra practitioners, households performing annual shraddh or graha-shanti fire rituals, temples with standing havan schedules.
Yajna & Ahuti is available through our partner pandits and retail partners. Siliguri is our first city.
Every element in Yajna & Ahuti has a farmer, a herb, or a hand behind it - most of them in the Darjeeling foothills. Read the Provenance story →
