Anuradha is the seventeenth nakshatra, a row of steady lamps in the body of Scorpio, ruled by Shani and presided over by Mitra. The Anuradha Nakshatra Homa is the rite by which you turn and face your own birth star. Priests take your name, your gotra and your nakshatra, and offer into the fire the mantras that belong to this star alone — so that the subtle current you were born under is honoured rather than left unattended.
Tradition holds that a birth star, kindly acknowledged, becomes a companion. Anuradha's gift is the making and keeping of bonds: with elders, with friends, with the devas themselves. When work feels friendless, when partnerships fray, when effort brings no answering warmth, the elders prescribed the anuradha nakshatra homam. It is also offered on your janma nakshatra each month and on your birthday, as a quiet act of gratitude for the star that carries you.
ॐ मित्राय नमः । मित्रो जनान् यातयति प्रजानन् मित्रो दाधार पृथिवीमुत द्याम् । Salutations to Mitra, who knows all beings and sets them in right order, and who upholds both the earth and the sky.
Why Devotees Book This
Devotees born under Anuradha, and parents offering on a child's behalf, book this homa for these traditional aims.
Alignment with your birth star
The mantras of Anuradha are offered in your name, so that your janma nakshatra is honoured and its influence made favourable.
Protection on the road and at work
Mitra is invoked as guardian of the one who keeps faith — traditionally sought before travel, relocation and long undertakings.
Friendship and goodwill
Anuradha rules bonds. The rite is prescribed where partnerships, teamwork and family harmony need repair.
Steady prosperity
Offered for growth that holds — reputation earned slowly, position kept, and the support of elders and well-wishers.
Relief from Shani's pressure
Anuradha is Shani's own star. The homa is performed to soften the weight of delay and to invite discipline rather than obstruction.
Devotion and inner steadiness
The Vedic seers linked Anuradha to unwavering bhakti. Devotees offer here for constancy of mind and clarity of purpose.

Every package, and the 48-day option
What you receive
The sealing of the yantra
When your homa concludes, the yantra that stood in the fire is rolled and locked inside its silver amulet according to Agama vidhi — the practice by which the energies raised in a ritual are held within a consecrated object rather than dispersing. It is why a homa performed at our ashram can still reach a devotee ten thousand miles away: what the fire raised travels to you, sealed.
Personal sankalpa
Your name, gotra & nakshatra — for you and up to five family members.
Live telecast
Watch your own homa in real time from the ashram. Streamed openly on our YouTube channel by default — or request a private, unlisted telecast at checkout.
Free energised Mitra Yantra, sealed in a silver amulet
Consecrated over three days — Jala (holy-water consecration with mantras), Prana (life force through pranayama & chants) and Jeeva Pratishta (awakened with 108 recitations & offerings) — then present through your homa, receiving the energies raised in the fire. Immediately afterwards it is rolled and sealed inside a silver amulet by Agamic rite, locking those energies within, and shipped to you with your prasadam.
Prasadam, shipped free
Sacred vibhuti, sandalwood powder & kumkum from your fire — delivered to any country.
48-Day Anushthan (optional)
Daily temple worship for 48 days — the 27 Nakshatras + 12 Rashis + 9 Planets — then sealed in a silver amulet of approximately 2–4 inches.
A note on sacred tradition
As per strict Agama vidhi, no videography is permitted inside the temple sanctum — this preserves the pure sacred energies and undisturbed divine focus of the ritual. The main homa is respectfully telecast live from outside the sanctum; the daily rituals of the 48-day Anushthan are performed with full devotion but are not telecast.
Homas are telecast openly on our YouTube channel so that devotees everywhere may witness the rituals — and because we believe you should be able to see our work before you trust us with yours. Your sankalpa names you and your family, so if you would rather your ceremony were not public, choose the private telecast option at checkout and it is streamed as an unlisted link visible only to you.
We state this plainly — transparency about what tradition forbids filming, and about what is public, is part of performing these rituals honestly.

Who is invoked
Mitra — the goddess of knowledge itself
Mitra is one of the Tridevi and the mother of the Vedas — the presiding deity of knowledge, learning, memory, speech, music and every art. She is depicted in white upon a white lotus, holding the veena, a book, a rosary and a water pot, with the swan of discernment beside her.
In this homa, her grace — Mitra Kataksham — is invoked through fire with your own name and birth details spoken in the sankalpa.

Anuradha is not a birthplace of gods but the star ruled by Mitra, one of the Adityas, the deva of friendship, covenant and right dealing. In the tradition Mitra is invoked alongside Varuna as the witness of promises. Anuradha's deity is therefore approached as a divine friend rather than a distant power, and this is the presence the homa calls upon.
Anuradha is the seventeenth of the twenty-seven nakshatras, spanning 3°20' to 16°40' of Vrischika (Scorpio). Its lord is Shani, its presiding deity Mitra, and its symbol a lotus or a triumphal archway. Those born under it are described in the shastras as loyal, organised and devoted, able to build lasting friendships and to carry long work to its end.
The Anuradha Nakshatra Homa is a fire ritual performed for a person born under Anuradha. Priests offer ghee, havan samagri and the mantras of Mitra and of Shani into the consecrated fire, with your name, gotra and nakshatra spoken in the sankalpa. Its significance lies in honouring the star that shaped your birth, so that its qualities of loyalty, order and protection are strengthened and its harsher pressures gentled.
The rite is traditionally performed for protection, for harmony in friendships and partnerships, for the goodwill of elders and superiors, for steady rather than sudden prosperity, and for relief from the delays associated with Shani. It is also offered simply as gratitude — an alignment with your janma nakshatra. Scripture prescribes the offering; the fruit rests with the deity.
Anyone born with the Moon in Anuradha, at any age. Parents commonly book it for a child born under this star. It is also chosen by those in a Shani dasha or bhukti, by people facing strain in partnerships or teamwork, and by devotees beginning something that will need years of steadiness. You do not perform it yourself — our priests perform it on your behalf at the Yagna Ashram.
The finest window is the day Anuradha nakshatra is running, especially when it falls on a Saturday. Your solar birthday, the monthly return of your birth star, and Shani-related periods are also held auspicious. Our priests calculate the muhurat from the panchangam and your birth details and confirm the date and time with you in advance.
The priests begin with achamana, Ganapati puja and the sankalpa in your name and nakshatra. Punyahavachanam and kalasha sthapana follow, then Navagraha invocation with emphasis on Shani, and the establishment of Agni in the kunda. Mitra and the Anuradha mantras are offered with ghee, samidha of the star's own tree, tila, akshata, honey and dravya, followed by purnahuti, aarti and prayers for peace. Prasadam and an energised yantra from that fire are then couriered to you.
Book online from any country on this page. Send your name, gotra if you know it, birth date and nakshatra, and our team confirms the muhurat. On the day, the homa is telecast live to you from our Yagna Ashram in Coimbatore, so you can sit with the fire wherever you are. Prasadam and the energised yantra are then couriered to your address worldwide, free of charge.
