Many UAE buildings have sensitive smoke detectors, some linked to a central fire alarm, so open a window or balcony door before you light the fire and keep it small. Keep water close by, keep children and pets at a safe distance, and never leave the fire unattended.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe deliver across the UAE, and the kit qualifies for free delivery.

The vidhi sheet inside walks you through each step and mantra in order, from lighting the fire to the purnahuti. What matters most is your sankalpa and a sincere offering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the clay vedi safe for a fire?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The vedi is heat-tested to hold a home havan fire without cracking. Use it dry, set it on a tile or steel plate rather than directly on marble or wood, and keep the fire small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIs the ghee included?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, 100 ml of pure cow ghee comes in the kit, enough for lighting the fire and the ahuti of a home havan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhen should I do the Navratri havan?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost families perform it on Maha Ashtami or Maha Navami, in the morning. Our Hindu calendar has this year's Ashtami and Navami timings set to UAE time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWill the havan set off the smoke alarm in my apartment?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can, if the room is closed. Open a window or balcony door first, keep the fire to a few kande and samidha at a time, and offer samagri a pinch at a time rather than in handfuls. Real herbal samagri smokes far less than cheap sawdust-based mixes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow long does the havan take?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA simple havan with the Ganesh ahuti, 21 offerings and the purnahuti takes about 30 to 45 minutes, including setting up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat do I do with the ash afterwards?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet it cool completely, then mix it into the soil of a plant pot or bury it in garden earth. Do not throw it in the bin or into the sea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCan I reuse the clay vedi?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Once it has cooled, brush out the ash, wipe it with a dry cloth and keep it for your next havan.
