About Tila Homa
Tila Homa is a classical Vedic fire-offering (homa) dedicated to Pitrus (Ancestors) / Lord Yama. A traditional homa using black sesame (til) as the primary dravya, performed for pitru-shanti, ancestral blessings, and removal of pitru-related doshas. In the sacred fire of Agni, the mantras and oblations carry the karta's sankalpa directly to the devata. Gopuja arranges experienced Vaidika pandits across Bangalore to perform Tila Homa with full samagri, qualified ritviks, and authentic Vedic procedure.
📅 When to perform
Tila Homa is best performed on the auspicious day and nakshatra associated with Pitrus (Ancestors) / Lord Yama, especially on festival days, family milestones, or as a sankalpa for healing, prosperity, or protection. We help select the right muhurtam based on your nakshatra and rashi.
