Agni is sacred fire who carries offerings from humans to gods and witnesses vows. Born in many ways across Vedic hymns; associated with Svaha.
Agni stands at the center of Vedic ritual as both deity and the mouth through which offerings reach heaven.
He appears in homes, sacrifices, lightning and digestive heat, linking cosmic and bodily processes.
In epics he witnesses marriages, consumes the Khandava forest and carries divine energies in the birth of Kartikeya.
Because fire transforms what it touches, he symbolizes purification and irreversible commitment.
