Homam
Agama-tradition fire rituals, typically South Indian, invoking a specific deity through Agni.
Homam, Havan and Yajna: Vedic and Agama Fire Traditions
Thirty-five fire rituals across three traditions — the Agama homam of southern temple practice, the Grihya havan of the household, and the shrauta yajna. This guide explains what separates them, and distinguishes the yajnas that belong to living practice from those recorded for historical reference.
