What you need

A small copper or iron havan-kuṇḍa (or a sturdy metal tray on bricks); a few samidh sticks or small dry wood pieces; camphor to light the fire; ghee in a bowl with a spoon; a packet of havan sāmagrī; a little black sesame, rice and barley if available; a dry coconut for the pūrṇāhuti; a water vessel; matches; and a mat to sit on.

Keep quantities small — a homam is about sincerity, not the size of the fire.
