Bhūta yajña — offering to all beings

Bhūta yajña (also bali) is feeding other living beings. Many families set aside a little food for a cow, birds, ants or street animals before eating — in some homes the first roṭī is for the cow and the last for the dog.

It reminds us that we share the world with all creatures. Watering plants and caring for the environment carry the same spirit.
