What is Yagya?

Yagya (a sacred fire ceremony — also written yajna, and commonly called a havan) is a gathering around a small ceremonial fire, with chanting and shared offerings. It is a peaceful, communal experience open to everyone.

What to expect

  • A welcoming, unhurried atmosphere — come as you are.
  • Simple participation; you can also just observe.
  • Time afterwards to meet people over prasad (blessed food shared with everyone).
