About

Agni is the god of fire in all its forms—the sacrificial fire, the household hearth, the fire of digestion, and the fire of the sun. As the medium of sacrifice, he carries offerings from humans to the gods, making him the essential bridge between worlds.

With two faces—one benevolent and one fierce—Agni embodies fire's dual nature: life-giving warmth and destructive conflagration. He is present at every Hindu ritual, purifying offerings and carrying prayers to heaven.

Agni represents transformation through fire, the purifying power that changes matter to energy, and the sacred connection between the mortal and divine realms.

Famous Story

When the gods needed to communicate with humans, they chose Agni as their messenger. Every sacrifice placed in fire reaches the gods through Agni's flames. His tongue of fire licks the offerings, transforming them into divine nourishment.

If You Match
