About the Book
Homam is a structured fire-based practice rooted in ancient Indian knowledge systems. While traditionally embedded in spiritual and cultural contexts, Homam involves controlled combustion of natural materials in a defined geometric setting, producing measurable thermal, chemical, and atmospheric effects.
The collective results presented in this book compel a re-evaluation of Homam from an environmental science perspective. Across geographically diverse locations—Eluru, Srisailam, Bengaluru, New Delhi, and agricultural field sites—the monitored data consistently demonstrate that Homam does not behave as a pollution-generating combustion activity, but rather as a low-intensity, self-regulating bio-thermal system
