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 Rajgir
Rajgir is a pilgrimage town for three traditions at once and a small residential one underneath. Rites for visitors are kept at the kunds and at the hill shrines; rites for the town's own households are kept at home, in Magahi, on the Magadh calendar.
The hot springs are the town's ritual centre, and bathing there is a step in a rite rather than an amenity. The Malamas fair in the intercalary month is the one period when the site is too full to plan anything around.
