About Havan
A havan is an offering made into fire, and it is either the whole occasion or the closing part of a larger one. The fire is established in a kund, the deity is invoked, and offerings of ghee, samidha and the havan samagri are made with each mantra, ending in the purnahuti — the final full offering.
It is kept on its own for a new beginning, an anniversary or a vow, and inside a griha pravesh, a vivah or a shanti puja as their fire portion. Ventilation is the one practical constraint: it needs an open space, a courtyard or a balcony, and a flat's kitchen is not one. Two hours.
Keeping a rite in Darbhanga
Darbhanga keeps Mithila's own ritual tradition, which is a distinct school rather than a local accent: its own manuals, its own commentators, and its own order of days at a wedding. A family from outside the region will find the sequence unfamiliar, and a local pandit will assume the Maithila one unless told otherwise.
Marriages here are still arranged against the Panji genealogical registers, which adds a step before the muhurat is fixed rather than after. Most rites are kept at home; the temple visit that follows is usually to Shyama Mai.
