Āgnihotra

Prepare the Āgnihotra pot by placing a small amount of water at the bottom to symbolize the primordial waters, recognizing the cosmic origin of life.

Ignite the fire using the Āgnihotra twigs, representing the spark of divine energy that ignites the process of spiritual purification and growth.

Offer ghee and rice grains into the fire, invoking Āgni as a messenger between humans and the divine, to carry the prayers and intentions to the higher realms for purification and manifestation.

Recite the Āgnihotra mantras, such as 'Agnaye Swaha' and 'Prajapataye Swaha', to invoke the divine presence and to acknowledge the cosmic order and balance that the ritual aims to maintain.
