Raksha Homa (ரக்ஷா ஹோமம் / रक्षा होमम्), a powerful Vedic fire ritual performed to invoke divine protection from negative energies, evil forces, illness, accidents, planetary doshas, and unknown fears.
Raksha Homa means “Protection Fire Ritual”. It is a universal Vedic homam done for safeguarding individuals, families, institutions, or property from all forms of danger – physical, emotional, psychic, and spiritual.

This homam combines multiple protective mantras and deities, often invoking Agni, Narasimha, Sudarshana, Hanuman, Durga, Bhairava, or Pratyangira Devi, depending on the severity or purpose.
