The Dhanvantari Homa is a fire offering made to Dhanvantari, the divine physician who emerged from the churning of the milk ocean holding the pot of amrita. When illness lingers, when strength does not return after treatment, when a family carries a long-running complaint from one generation to the next, the tradition turns to this fire. Ghee, medicinal herbs and grains are offered into the kunda while the Dhanvantari mantra is chanted, verse after verse, until the flame itself becomes the vessel of nectar.
This is not a substitute for medicine. The shastra places the Dhanvantari homam beside treatment, not instead of it — it is offered so that the healing hand steadies, the body accepts what is given to it, and the mind stops fighting its own recovery. At our Yagna Ashram, priests perform the homa in your name and gotra, and you watch the fire live wherever you are. The prasadam and the energised yantra reach your door afterwards.
ॐ नमो भगवते वासुदेवाय धन्वन्तरये अमृतकलशहस्ताय सर्वामयविनाशनाय त्रैलोक्यनाथाय श्रीमहाविष्णवे नमः Salutations to Lord Dhanvantari, who holds the vessel of nectar in his hand, destroyer of all afflictions, lord of the three worlds — an appeal to him to remove disease and grant health and long life.
Why Devotees Book This
These are the intentions the tradition assigns to the Dhanvantari homam. Devotees bring them to the fire; the outcome rests with the deity.
Recovery from illness
Offered when someone is convalescing after fever, surgery or a long hospital stay, and the family wants divine support alongside treatment.
Relief from chronic ailments
Traditionally invoked for complaints that recur season after season and never fully clear — the fire is offered for their easing.
Vitality and strength
For those who feel drained without clear cause, the homa is prescribed to restore ojas, appetite and everyday stamina.
Longevity in the family
Elders and newborns alike are named in the sankalpa, with prayers for ayush — a long, sound and unburdened span of life.
Steadiness of mind in sickness
Illness wearies the spirit before the body. The Dhanvantari mantra is chanted for calm, patience and courage through treatment.
Blessings on healers and their work
Doctors, vaidyas, therapists and caregivers offer this homa for clarity of judgement and a steady hand in their service.

Sacred Timing
Dhanvantari has his own days in the calendar, and priests choose the muhurat with care.
Dhanteras (Dhanvantari Trayodashi)
The thirteenth tithi of the dark fortnight of Ashwin marks Dhanvantari's appearance from the ocean. The most sought-after day for this homa.
Ekadashi and Dwadashi
Vishnu tithis suit an offering to Dhanvantari, who is counted an amsha of Vishnu. Dwadashi mornings are especially favoured.
Punarvasu, Rohini and Ashwini nakshatras
Nakshatras associated with healing, renewal and the divine physicians are chosen when the sankalpa is for recovery.
Brahma Muhurta on any Wednesday
When a case is urgent, priests do not wait for a festival. The pre-dawn hour is fixed against your birth details and the fire is lit.
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 Dhanvantari 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
Dhanvantari — the goddess of knowledge itself
Dhanvantari 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 — Dhanvantari Kataksham — is invoked through fire with your own name and birth details spoken in the sankalpa.

The Dhanvantari homam is a Vedic fire ritual offered to Dhanvantari, the physician of the gods. Ghee, herbs and grains are poured into the consecrated fire while his mantra is chanted, with the sankalpa made for health, recovery and long life.
A simple Dhanvantari puja at home means bathing and facing east at dawn, lighting a lamp before his image, offering tulsi, flowers and fruit, and chanting the Dhanvantari mantra a set number of times — 108 is common. A homa, however, needs a consecrated kunda, correct samidha and trained hands. That is why devotees have the fire ritual performed by priests and keep the daily puja at home.
Lord Dhanvantari is the divine physician who rose from the milk ocean during its churning, carrying the pot of amrita. He is regarded as the source of Ayurveda and is worshipped as the deity of medicine and healing.
Dhanvantari is counted as an amsha, a partial descent, of Vishnu — which is why his mantra opens with a salutation to Vasudeva. He is the god of health and medicine, and the presiding deity of physicians and Ayurvedic practitioners.
He is shown four-armed, holding the amrita kalasha, the pot of nectar, and usually a leech, a conch and a chakra — some traditions place a text of Ayurveda in place of the leech. The nectar vessel is the essential mark of him.
It is performed when illness will not lift, when recovery is slow, when a chronic condition drains the household, or when a family simply wishes to place its health and longevity in the hands of the divine physician for the year ahead.
For health the tradition points first to the Dhanvantari homa, as Dhanvantari is the deity of medicine itself. It is offered for recovery, vitality and freedom from long-standing ailments, alongside whatever medical care is being taken.
It is a fire ritual in which offerings are made to Dhanvantari, who brought amrita to the world. Its significance lies in that image: the same hand that carried the nectar is asked to touch a body in need of healing. The rite honours health as something sacred, not merely physical.
The dhanvantari homam benefits described in tradition are recovery from illness, relief from chronic complaints, restored vitality, longevity for elders and children, steadiness of mind through treatment, and blessings on those who care for the sick. The homa supports treatment; it does not replace it.
Anyone recovering from illness, living with a long-standing condition, caring for an ailing family member, or entering advancing years. Doctors and Ayurvedic practitioners often offer it for their practice. Families also perform it on Dhanteras for the household's health through the year.
Dhanteras, the Dhanvantari Trayodashi, is the foremost day. Ekadashi and Dwadashi, and the Punarvasu, Rohini or Ashwini nakshatras are also favoured. Where the need is immediate, our priests fix a Brahma Muhurta slot against your birth details rather than waiting.
Priests begin with achamana, Ganapati puja and punyahavachana, then the sankalpa in your name, gotra and nakshatra. The kunda is consecrated, Agni invoked, and Dhanvantari installed in the fire. Offerings of cow ghee, palasha and other samidha, navadhanya, honey, medicinal herbs and tulsi are made through the mantra japa, followed by purnahuti, aarti and prayer for the sick person named. You watch it all on the live telecast.
Book online from any country on this page. Send the name, gotra and birth star of the person the homa is for. Our priests perform it at our Yagna Ashram on your behalf and stream it live to you — no travel, no attendance needed. Prasadam and an energised yantra are couriered to your address, free, anywhere in the world. Dhanvantari puja cost is shown for your country in the packages listed on this page.
