Also spelled Dasavathara Homam
दशावतार होमTen descents of the Lord, one fire. Matsya to Kalki invoked in order, so that every direction around you and your family stands guarded.
The Dasavathara Homa is a Maha homa in which the ten avatars of Vishnu are invoked one after another into a single consecrated fire. Each descent answered a different kind of danger — a flood, a churning, a tyrant, a demon who could be killed neither by day nor night. Tradition therefore turns to the dasavatharam list in order when the trouble at hand has no single face: unexplained obstruction, a household that has grown heavy, the sense of being watched or wished ill.
Because the invocation is sequential, the rite is long and unusually complete. Ten sets of ahutis, ten sankalpas, ten names of refuge — Matsya for what is submerged, Kurma for what must be held steady, Narasimha for what breaks through at the threshold, Kalki for what must be ended. Devotees book it as a protective covering for a home, a family line, a business or a person who has been through a difficult stretch and wants the ground cleared before beginning again.
मत्स्यः कूर्मो वराहश्च नरसिंहोऽथ वामनः । रामो रामश्च कृष्णश्च बुद्धः कल्किश्च ते दश ॥ Matsya, Kurma, Varaha, Narasimha, Vamana, Parashurama, Rama, Krishna, Buddha and Kalki — these ten are Your descents, and in naming them the devotee takes refuge in each.The tradition prescribes the Dasavathara Homa where protection must cover many fronts at once. These are the intentions devotees carry into the fire.
Ill-wishing looks and words are offered up in the fire with the names of all ten avatars, invoked as a shield around the person named in the sankalpa.
Where black magic, tantric harm or deliberate ill intent is suspected, the rite is performed as a traditional counter-measure and cleansing.
The sankalpa is taken for the dwelling and everyone in it, so the protection is asked for the household rather than one individual alone.
For restless nights, heaviness in rooms, or fear that has no cause you can name, the Narasimha and Varaha invocations are the classical refuge.
When plans collapse again and again without reason, the ten-fold invocation is offered to remove the interference standing between effort and result.
Before a marriage, a move, a new venture or a child's new chapter, devotees ask the ten avatars to guard the road ahead.
Every priest who performs your Dasavathara Homa is trained in a traditional Padashala and personally recruited by Brahmashree Shivaaya — Guru and Head of Astrological & Spiritual Solutions at AstroBhava. Your ritual is conducted at our own Yagna Ashram — never a rented venue — with temple rites performed across our seven temples in Tamil Nadu and Kerala.
Meet our priests →Not every fire ritual is performed at the same scale. A Maha Homa is our largest form. This is what that means.
More priests, and a fire that burns for as long as the rite itself requires rather than a shortened sitting. The exact figures for this rite are stated with its price above.
The whole sequence the rite calls for, in unison, never a representative portion of it and never chanted in rotation.
Every minute, from the sankalpa in which your name is spoken to the final aarti. Nothing is performed off camera.
A Maha Homa is performed for one devotee and their named family, exactly like any homa we conduct. What the scale changes is the weight of the offering, and it is reserved for the intentions that warrant it.
There is nothing to choose. Unlike most of our homas, the Dasavathara Homa is not offered at several priest counts. It is performed one way, as the rite requires — 10 priests, 6 hours — with the free energised Vishnu Yantra sealed in its silver amulet, the live telecast, and free worldwide delivery of your prasadam all included in the one price.

The two tithis dearest to Vishnu. The most sought-after days for any homa invoking the dasavatharam of Vishnu in order.
Vishnu's own birth star. Highly favoured for protective Vaishnava fire rites and for sankalpas taken on behalf of a whole family.
Sri Rama Navami, Krishna Janmashtami, Narasimha Jayanti, Varaha Jayanti and Vamana Jayanti — each honours one descent while the homa honours all ten.
Periods of concentrated Vishnu upasana, chosen by devotees seeking a full protective covering for the year ahead.
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.
Your name, gotra & nakshatra — for you and up to five family members.
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.
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.
Sacred vibhuti, sandalwood powder & kumkum from your fire — delivered to any country.
Daily temple worship for 48 days — the 27 Nakshatras + 12 Rashis + 9 Planets — then sealed in a silver amulet of approximately 2–4 inches.
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.
The energised yantra is carefully rolled and sealed inside a sacred silver amulet before shipping. Wearing it is itself a small ritual — and even its timing is set for you personally.
Our astrologer marks the auspicious date and time to wear the yantra according to your birth details — sent to you in the email carrying your shipment's tracking number.
Dip the silver amulet in raw milk or Ganga jal for an hour before wearing, then clean with normal water.
Perform the wearing process facing east or north for maximum benefit.
Show lamp and incense to the amulet before wearing it.
Around your neck or waist, on a thread or chain.
Repeated offering of dheep and dhoop keeps the energisation alive.
Place the amulet at your puja altar, or keep it in your wallet.
The priest states your name, gotra and nakshatra — and those of up to five family members — with the intention this homa is performed for.
The customary invocation to Ganapati, clearing obstacles before the goddess is approached.
