Deva yajña — offering to the gods

Deva yajña is an offering to the gods, classically a small oblation into fire. In many homes it now takes the form of lighting a lamp, offering a flower or a little food at the shrine, or a short havan.

It is a daily thank-you to the powers of nature and the divine that sustain life.
