Thila Homam is an 8-priest Vedic fire ritual performed to release ancestors (pitrus) from the 28 hells and grant them moksha. The procedure moves through Punyavachanam, Ganapathi and Shiva-Parvathi worship, Ganapathi Homam, Rudra Homam for the paternal lineage, Parvathi Homam for the maternal lineage, the 28 Hells Homam, and closes with Purna Ahuti. It is performed at Aadhesh Lakshmi Narayana Temple, Kodambakkam, Chennai, and can be watched live on WhatsApp or video call from anywhere in the world.

If you searched for "procedure of thila homam", you're likely trying to understand what actually happens during the ritual before you book it — here is the exact step-by-step sequence followed at our temple.
Thila Homam (also called the Ancestral Curse Removal Homam or 28 Hells Homam) is a sacred Vedic fire ritual performed to free deceased ancestors from Pitru Dosha and help them attain salvation. Black sesame seeds (thila) are a core offering throughout the ritual — hence the name. For full pricing details, customer testimonials, and astrological consultation, visit our official Thila Homam portal. It is most commonly performed during Mahalaya Paksha / Pitru Paksha, but can be done any day of the year when there is urgent need.
Mahalaya Paksha 2026 falls from 26 September to 10 October 2026, ending on Mahalaya Amavasya (10 October 2026) — the most auspicious window in the year for this homam. To understand why this period is crucial and to reserve your family's individual sankalpam slot, visit the Thila Homam services page as well as our guide on the best place to perform Thila Homam during Mahalaya Paksha. Bookings for this period should be made early as slots fill up fast.
The ritual follows a strict Shastric sequence performed by certified Vedic priests. Here are the 8 key stages of the procedure followed at Astro Adhesh Pro (learn more on our Thila Homam home page):
A purification rite performed at the start of every major homam to sanctify the space, the priests, and the person on whose behalf the ritual is done.
Lord Ganesha is invoked first, as per tradition, to remove obstacles and ensure the rest of the ritual proceeds without disruption.
Shiva and Parvathi are worshipped together, invoking their grace before the fire rituals begin.
A fire offering to Ganapathi that formally opens the homam sequence.
Chanted on both sides of the family, this step is directed at freeing paternal ancestors and helping them attain salvation.
The corresponding rite for maternal ancestors, again covering three generations.
The central rite of the ritual, performed for ancestors from both lineages believed to be trapped in the 28 hells (naraka), helping release them toward moksha.
The final, complete offering into the fire, followed by blessings from the presiding Acharya to close the homam.
Note: Each step is performed by 8 priests with no compromise on materials or process, and the entire ritual is done individually for your family — not as a group homam. Discover full ritual guidelines on our Thila Homam main site.
The full procedure of Thila Homam is conducted at Aadhesh Lakshmi Narayana Temple, Kodambakkam, Chennai. For a detailed comparison on sacred kshetras versus temple performance, read our complete guide: Where Should I Perform Thila Homam?.
