Punyahavachanam

Punya-havachanam is the Vedic ritual of purification. Lord Varuna is invoked into a kumbha (water pot) and offerings are made. Then the kumbha (and the water within) is energized by reciting Vedic hymns while touching the kumbha with a bundle of darbha grass. The bless water is then sipped and sprinkled around for blessings. The home, office, or temple can be purified using this ritual. It is important to purify people before and after major ceremonies like funeral, wedding, upanayanam etc.
