Agnihotra is an ancient Vedic ritual performed exactly at the times of sunrise and sunset, along with the chanting of two small
Sanskrit mantras. Dedicated to
Lord Agni, this process purifies the atmosphere and nourishes human life. It is practiced as a remedial measure to cleanse the whole of nature. It is believed that Agnihotra renews the brain cells, rejuvenates the skin and purifies the blood.
