Uttara Bhadrapada is the twenty-sixth nakshatra, the back legs of the funeral cot — the still half of a restless pair. Its presiding deity is Ahirbudhnya, the serpent who coils in the depths of the ocean and holds the foundations of the world. The Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra Homa is the fire rite that honours that star and that serpent, offered for a person born under it. Tradition holds that your birth star is the doorway through which the light of the moment of your birth still reaches you. Feeding it with ghee and mantra is how you keep that doorway clear.
Devotees turn to the uttara bhadrapada nakshatra homam when the star's period runs in the dasha or bhukti, when Saturn — the lord of this nakshatra — moves through a sensitive house, or simply once a year on their nakshatra birthday. The rite is prescribed for protection from unseen obstruction, for depth and stability of mind, and for the slow, rooted prosperity this star is associated with. Our priests perform it at the Yagna Ashram in your name and gotra, and you watch the flame rise live, wherever you are.
अहिर्बुध्नियः प्रथमा न एति श्रेष्ठो देवानामुत मानुषाणाम् । तं ब्राह्मणाः सोमपाः सोम्यासः प्रोष्ठपदासो अभिरक्षन्ति सर्वे ॥ ॐ अहिर्बुध्न्याय नमः ॥ May Ahirbudhnya, foremost and highest among gods and men, come to us first — he whom all the soma-drinking brahmanas of Proshthapada guard on every side; salutations to Ahirbudhnya.
Why Devotees Book This
What the tradition prescribes the Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra Homa for:
Alignment with your birth star
Offerings are made in your name, gotra and nakshatra, so the rite reaches the star under which you were born.
Protection through Ahirbudhnya
The serpent of the deep is invoked in the traditional way as a guardian of foundations — of home, of livelihood, of family.
Steadiness during the star's period
Prescribed when the Uttara Bhadrapada dasha or bhukti runs, or when Saturn, its lord, transits a sensitive point in your chart.
Rooted prosperity
Uttara Bhadrapada is a star of slow, deep accumulation. The homa is offered for growth that stays.
Clarity and inner quiet
Devotees seek this rite when the mind is unsettled, asking for the depth and composure the star is known for.
An annual observance
Many book it each year on their nakshatra birthday, keeping the connection to the star tended like a lamp.

Sacred Timing
The homa is performed on days our priests hold to be most receptive for this star:
Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra day
The star's own day, which returns roughly once each lunar month. Known as Uttarattathi in Tamil and Uttara Bhadra in Kannada, this is the classic day for the rite.
Your nakshatra birthday
The day each year when the Moon returns to Uttara Bhadrapada in your birth month — the traditional janma nakshatra observance.
Saturn periods and transits
When the Uttara Bhadrapada dasha or bhukti begins, or when Saturn, the lord of this star, moves through a house of consequence in your chart.
Bhadrapada month and Purnima
The lunar month named for this star, and full-moon days, are considered fitting for nakshatra homas of this kind.
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 Ahirbudhnya 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
Ahirbudhnya — the goddess of knowledge itself
Ahirbudhnya 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 — Ahirbudhnya Kataksham — is invoked through fire with your own name and birth details spoken in the sankalpa.

It is a Vedic fire ritual offered for a person born under Uttara Bhadrapada, the twenty-sixth nakshatra, whose presiding deity is Ahirbudhnya — the serpent of the ocean depths who holds the foundations of creation. The tradition treats the birth star as a living link to the moment of your birth. The homa feeds that link with ghee, samidha and the nakshatra mantra, and is prescribed for protection, stability and steady prosperity.
The tradition prescribes the uttara bhadrapada nakshatra homam for alignment with your birth star, protection through Ahirbudhnya, composure during the star's dasha or bhukti, and rooted growth in home and livelihood. Devotees also perform it annually to keep the connection to their nakshatra tended. It is an act of worship, not a guarantee of any particular result.
Anyone born under Uttara Bhadrapada — children, adults, or a family member booking on their behalf. It is often chosen when the Uttara Bhadrapada period is running, when Saturn transits a sensitive house, before a marriage, a move or a new venture, or simply as a yearly observance on the nakshatra birthday. You need only your name, gotra if known, and birth star.
The Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra day itself is the most direct choice, and it recurs about once a lunar month. Your annual nakshatra birthday, the start of a Saturn-related period, and full-moon days in Bhadrapada are also traditional. Our priests fix the muhurat from your details and confirm the date and time before the rite.
The priests begin with sankalpa in your name, gotra and nakshatra, followed by Ganapati puja and punyahavachanam. The kalasha is established and the nakshatra devata Ahirbudhnya invoked. Agni is kindled, and offerings of ghee, the samidha wood assigned to this star, havan dravya, grains and herbs are made with the nakshatra sukta and the deity mantra. The rite closes with purnahuti, deeparadhana, and prayers for your protection and welfare.
Book online from any country. Choose the homa on this page, give the name, gotra and birth star of the person it is for, and our team confirms the muhurat. Qualified priests perform it at our Yagna Ashram on your behalf and telecast it live to you. Prasadam and an energised yantra are couriered to your address worldwide, free.
