The sanskrit word homa originates from the root hu, meaning to pour into fire, offer, or sacrifice. In Indian religions, particularly Hinduism, homa, so called havan, a sacred fire ritual performed on special occasions. Typically conducted by a priest for a homeowner grihastha, this ritual acknowledges fire Agni as one of the five sacred elements integral to life. Fire is revered in Hinduism as a purifier and divine witness, embodying transformation and enlightenment. The fire puja, or fire offering, involves burning offerings to invoke blessings and accomplish spiritual objectives. Fire symbolizes divine energy, illuminating rituals with its purifying light and connecting practitioners with higher spiritual realms.
