Frequently Asked Questions
Why is pure cow ghee emphasized over vegetable oil or market ghee?
In Vedic tradition, pure Desi cow ghee serves as the foremost sacred Havya (offering), sanctifying the consecrated fire and conveying devotional prayers with sacred reverence.
What happens to the samagri and flowers after the puja?
Sacred ash (Bhasma) from the havan is applied to the forehead as a blessing. Leftover flowers and organic offerings should be placed respectfully at the root of a plant or tree rather than disposed of in ordinary waste.
