History
History
Hawan has deep roots in Vedic civilization — specifically mentioned in texts like the Rigveda and Yajurveda. In ancient India, sages performed Agnihotra and Yajnas daily to maintain cosmic order (Rta). Hawan rituals were integral to life events: births, marriages, house constructions, and even state matters like coronations. It evolved from elaborate public Yajnas to simplified domestic Hawans, making it accessible to households.
