About Ayush Homam
Ayush Homam is a Vedic fire ritual performed to seek blessings of long life, good health, and protection · primarily for children and on birthdays. "Ayush" means life force or longevity. This homam invokes Lord Vishnu, Lord Dhanvantari (the physician of the gods), and Ayur Devata to grant the individual divine protection and vitality. It is traditionally performed on a child's first birthday or whenever health blessings are sought.
