It is a long step until the beginning of Homa, the sacred fire, takes place. Other items will be offered, woods, a compound of 9 herbs, camphor, ghee, cow dung, etc … as well as flowers, leaves, a variety of fruits, sweets, clothes, etc. The sacred fire is started, and this can last for more than 1 hour …
