Thila Homam is a sacred Vedic fire ritual performed with consecrated black sesame seeds (Thila), pure cow ghee, and sacred samithu offerings into the sacred Agni. Devotees perform this ritual to honour departed ancestors, seek Pitru Shanti (ancestral peace), and pray for family harmony. Learn more about the meaning of Thila Homam.

In Vedic scriptures, black sesame seeds symbolize longevity, subtle spiritual energy, and deep gratitude (Pitru Rina). They are the sacred grain specifically prescribed in the Shastras for ancestor remembrance and conveying devotional intent.

Householders, sons, married couples, and family members seeking ancestral peace can perform or book Thila Homam for their departed parents, grandparents, and lineage forebears.

If your family Gothra is not known, our trained Vedic priests will respectfully use Shiva Gothra or Kashyapa Gothra as guided by traditional Vedic scripture protocols.

Monthly Amavasya (New Moon) days, Aadi Amavasai, Thai Amavasya, Mahalaya Paksha, and annual ancestral death Tithis are traditionally considered optimal.
