What is Ayush Homam?
Ayush Homam is performed for a long and healthy life by invoking Ayur Devata, the deity of life span. It is traditionally done on a child’s first birthday and on birthdays by birth star (janma nakshatram).
The homam is offered with the Ayur Suktam and often the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra, asking for health, long life and protection from illness. It is one of the most common homams for children in South Indian families.
