Jow for Pooja Purpose

Jow (barley) is a sacred grain used across many Hindu rituals, from havan and yagya offerings to the sowing of jware (khetri) during Navratri. These clean, whole barley grains are ready for your pooja, so you always have jow on hand for havan, Navratri and auspicious ceremonies. A small but essential samagri for devotees who perform regular rituals at home.

Why jow is used

Barley is one of the oldest sacred grains in Vedic tradition, offered into the havan fire as ahuti and sown as jware during Navratri to invite prosperity and growth. The sprouting jware, tended over the nine days of Navratri, is a cherished symbol of abundance and the Goddess's blessings.

• Sow it as jware (khetri) at the start of Navratri and tend it over the nine days.
