Evening Yagya
March 23, 2007
It is not often that a fire yagya (homam) is performed at night. So far as I know, most temples only perform an evening homam for Ganesha Chaturthi a few days after the full moon. A night time yagya is such a beautiful sight and there is something about it that transcends time. Perhaps it is the primal nature of fire and the sounds of ancient mantras. The yagya in the above photo is being performed overlooking the Ganges in Varanasi.
