Can a homam be done in an apartment?

Yes. Pandits use a small metal homa kundam on a brick or sand base and keep the fire small. Choose a ventilated room or balcony, keep water nearby, and check your society’s rules on smoke alarms. Ganapathi, Navagraha and Sudarshana homams are often done in flats.
