Read moreThe Puja & Havan Guide
What each havan and puja means, why it is offered to its deity, the story behind it,
and how you can take part — from anywhere in the world.
Sab ki aahuti,
sab ka ashirwad.
For thousands of years, families have turned to havans and pujas to begin something new, to give thanks, to pray for someone they love, or simply to invite peace into the home. This guide explains each ritual Aum Fe performs — who the deity is and why, the story behind it, the blessings devotees traditionally seek, who it suits, and the most auspicious time. Every ritual is performed by the experienced pujari of a peaceful Himalayan temple, and filmed for you by our crew. We work only with positive temples, and every ritual we perform is benefic and joyful. Blessings described are those sought in tradition; we never promise outcomes.
A fire ritual, open to everyone. Offerings of ghee, grains and herbs go into one sacred fire with each mantra, on behalf of devotees everywhere. Open havans start from ₹111.
Worship with flowers, lamp, incense and food — a private ritual for one family, available in limited slots.
Tradition holds prayer shared by many especially dear. Every devotee who joins adds their prayer to the same fire — and supports the temple priests who perform it.
Take part from your living room in Delhi, Dubai or Dallas. Light a lamp, pray with us, and watch the video we send you. Prasad and sacred items are couriered to your door — across India and internationally.
