A havan, and one sentence you write yourself
संकल्प हवन
You send us one sentence: the thing you're actually holding. It's read aloud at the sankalp, in your words, and the havan is performed for it. Nobody rewrites your sentence, and nobody asks you to make it sound more spiritual.
What this one is addressed to
An intention, in your words. Where the other three rites address a graha, a sankalp havan addresses a sentence you write yourself. The sankalp, the stated purpose spoken before anything is offered, is the centre of the rite in the tradition; here that purpose is your own line, read aloud unchanged and uncorrected. People take this one when what they're carrying doesn't reduce to a planet. The longer explanation of what a remedy is sits on the remedies page.
What a Havan for an intention actually is
Most rites are ordered from a menu. This one isn't: the sankalp carries a line you wrote, in the words you wrote it in, whether that's Hindi, English or the mix most of us actually speak.
We don't correct it, shorten it, or translate it into something more ceremonial. If you want to say you're frightened about a decision at work, that's what gets read.
Who this is for
- Someone marking something specific that doesn't fit a named puja.
- Someone who wants their own words in the rite rather than a generic sankalp.
- Someone who has been through something and wants it acknowledged out loud by another person.

Where it's performed, and by whom
The temple and the practitioner are named to you in writing before you pay, and again on the recording, where you can see them. We don't publish a practitioner’s name here until they have agreed to be named and filmed.
Havan for an intention benefits: what we will and will not say
What we will say. A havan was performed, the samagri was what we said it would be, and your sentence was read out loud, unedited, in your own words, on the recording where you can hear it.
What we will not say. That writing a sentence and burning ghee will cause the thing in the sentence to happen. It will not, and we aren't going to pretend otherwise to sell a rite.
What it's actually for. Being heard. Someone else says your words aloud, on purpose, in a fire, and sends you the proof. Whether that's worth ₹6,500 to you is a question only you can answer, and we would rather you answered it clearly than be talked into it.
How to book
