Starting a vedic fire (part 3)
October 26, 2007
The homa kund (fire pit) is four feet square and is, by tradition, supposed to be four feet below the earth and four feet above.
Once the fire has been lit, it must not go out for the duration of the yagya (4 more days). It will be fed around the clock with long wood logs. By the end the accumulated ash is almost 2 feet deep!
