The Baneshi Homa belongs to the family of marriage rites in the Vedic fire tradition. Where a horoscope shows the seventh house pressed upon, where proposals arrive and dissolve, where a household has grown weary of waiting — this is the homa the tradition turns to. Ghee, grains, sesame and fragrant woods are offered into the consecrated fire while the sankalpa carries your name, your star and your intention into the flame.
Marriage in our tradition is never treated as a private arrangement alone. It is a knot tied in the presence of Agni, and Agni is asked first. The Baneshi Homam is that asking. Priests seat the fire, invoke Baneshi, and place each offering with mantra so that obstruction loosens, tempers cool, and the path to a suitable alliance is prayed clear. Devotees also book the baneshi homa for an existing marriage that has turned brittle — for the return of patience and warmth between two people.
Why Devotees Book This
The Baneshi Homam is prescribed in the Love & Marriage tradition for these intentions. What follows is what the rite is offered for, in the words of the tradition.
For a suitable life partner
Offered when the search for a match has gone on long — a prayer for the right alliance to appear and hold.
For delays that keep repeating
Traditionally taken up when talks advance and then stall again and again, to pray such obstruction away.
For harmony between husband and wife
Sought by couples living with friction, coldness or constant argument, asking for patience and affection to return.
For the strength of the seventh house
Performed on the counsel of an astrologer when marriage-related placements in the chart are seen as needing propitiation.
For peace in the wider household
Marriage joins two families. The homa is offered so that goodwill, not suspicion, surrounds a new alliance.
For a family carrying the worry
Parents and siblings often book the baneshi homam on behalf of an unmarried son or daughter, wherever in the world they live.

Fridays, and the waxing fortnight generally, are held auspicious for rites of union and increase — a favoured day for this homa.
Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, Hasta, Swati, Magha, Mula
The nakshatras long counted as vivaha-friendly. Where the calendar allows, the homa is set on one of these.
Magha and Phalguna months
The classical marriage season in the Hindu calendar, when alliances are traditionally begun and blessed.
Before a fixed alliance or wedding
Many devotees have the homa performed in the days before an engagement, a horoscope match or the wedding itself.

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 Baneshi 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
Baneshi — the goddess of knowledge itself
Baneshi 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 — Baneshi Kataksham — is invoked through fire with your own name and birth details spoken in the sankalpa.

The Baneshi Homa is a Vedic fire ritual from the Love & Marriage group of rites, offered to Baneshi for marriage prospects, marital harmony and the easing of delays. Its significance lies in the old understanding that a marriage is sanctioned before Agni. Ghee, grains, sesame and sacred woods are offered with mantra while your sankalpa names your intention, so that what obstructs an alliance is prayed away and what supports it is invoked.
The tradition prescribes the baneshi homam for finding a suitable life partner, for relief from repeated delays and broken talks, for harmony between husband and wife, for peace between the two families, and for propitiation where an astrologer reads the marriage-related houses of a chart as needing it. The rite is an offering and a prayer, undertaken with faith rather than as a promise of a fixed result.
It is taken up by anyone seeking marriage — and just as often by parents, siblings or well-wishers on that person's behalf. Couples living with prolonged discord also book it. Devotees who have been advised a marriage-related remedy by an astrologer commonly choose this homa. The ritual itself is performed only by qualified priests; at AstroBhava our priests perform it for you at our Yagna Ashram, and you watch the live telecast from wherever you are.
Fridays and the Shukla Paksha are favoured, as are the vivaha-friendly nakshatras such as Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, Hasta, Swati, Magha and Mula. The months of Magha and Phalguna are traditional for marriage rites. Many devotees also fix the homa shortly before an engagement or wedding. Share your birth details when you book and our priests will select the muhurat for you.
The priests begin with Achamana, Ganapati puja and the sankalpa taken in your name, gotra and birth star. The homa kunda is prepared and Agni invoked. Baneshi is then invoked and worshipped, followed by the prescribed count of mantra japa. Offerings of cow ghee, sesame, rice, navadhanya, honey, sacred woods such as palasha and samagri herbs are placed into the fire. Purnahuti closes the offerings, and the rite ends with aarti, prarthana and the distribution of prasadam.
Book online from any country on this page. Give your name, gotra, birth star and your intention. Our priests fix an auspicious muhurat and perform the Baneshi Homa at our Yagna Ashram in Coimbatore on your behalf. You receive a live telecast link so you can sit with the fire wherever you are, and the prasadam along with an energised yantra is couriered to you free, anywhere in the world.
