Description

Yagna or Yajna is a Hindu prayer (pooja, puja) offered to fire deity.

Some puja are private, individual such as at sunrise or sunset or simply in meditative isolation; some are community and social (above), other pujas are inside temples in front of idols, and yet others are ceremonial (wedding) and at inauguration of something (factory, new house warming, launch of a product, etc). Some politicians offer puja in community to send an implied message to the voters they seek. Puja is offered for many reasons, in many forms in Hinduism.
