Buddhism (Homa )Fire Ritual.
The Homa Ritual of consecrated fire is unique to Vajrayana and Esoteric Buddhism and is perhaps also the most mystical and cognitively powerful. It stems from the Vedic Agnihotra Ritual and is performed by qualified priests and acharyas for the benefit of individuals, the state or all sentient beings in general. The consecrated fire is believed to have a powerful cleansing effect spiritually and psychologically. The central deity invoked in this ritual is usually Acalanatha .he ritual is performed for the purpose of destroying negative energies, detrimental thoughts and desires, and for the making of secular requests and blessings; these are in the form of pieces of lumber with prayers written down by individuals and stamped with Acalanatha's seed syllable. In most Shingon temples, this ritual is performed daily in the morning or the afternoon, and is a requirement for all acharyas to learn this ritual upon entering the priesthood. Larger scale ceremonies often include the constant beating of taiko drums and mass chanting of the mantra of Acalanatha by priests and lay practitioners. Flames can sometimes reach a few meters high. The combination of the ritual's visuals and sounds can be trance-inducing and make for a profound experience.© Jimmy pramod Malakar.

different animals and birds are also significant aspects of this
festival.

day is Kukur Tihar, the third Gai Tihar and Laxmi Puja, fourth day
Gobardhan Puja or Goru Puja and fifth day Bhai Tika, the main day of the
festival.

day. Bhai Tika celebrates the bond between brothers and sisters. Sisters
put tika wishing for longevity and prosperity of their brothers, while
