Homa muhurat: shubh dates and timings for a havan

Homa, known to most families as a havan or yajna, is the fire offering in which ghee, samidha and grain are given into a consecrated flame while mantras are recited. It is performed to mark a beginning, to complete a vow, or as a remedy, and a shubh muhurat is chosen so the fire is lit in a favourable hour. Tarini gives you ranked dated, timed windows for हवन मुहूर्त, judged against the birth chart of the yajaman who sits before the fire, along with the tithis and hours to avoid, so you can fix the sankalpa time with your priest and plan the arrangements around it.

About this muhurat

A havan at home or at the temple. You get the dated windows and the hours to avoid.

A homa is a fire ritual conducted around a kunda or a brick vedi, with a priest, a fixed count of offerings and a sankalpa naming the purpose. Families hold one at a housewarming, before a wedding, on a birthday or an anniversary of a death rite, at the completion of a vrat, or as part of a shanti for a specific planet. Most home havans run for two to four hours in the morning, with the ignition of the fire the moment the muhurat is chosen for.

What you receive
