In the construction of the mahavedi to house this thing, the round garhapatya (“gahr-huh-PUHT-yuh”) and the square ahavaniya (“ah-huh-vuh-NEE-yuh”) must have the same area, an early form of squaring the circle. A deity of this thing is invoked in the opening line of the Rigveda. The death of the asuri Holika is celebrated by one of these things on the night before Holi. In a wedding ceremony called saptapadi (“SUP-tuh-puh-dee”), the bride and groom go around this thing seven times. During aarti (“AHR-thee”), these things are circled before a murti, and during Diwali, houses are adorned with diyas containing this thing. This thing central to a yajña (“YUHG-nyuh”) is personified by the god Agni. For 10 points, Hindus cremate bodies with what classical element? ■END■
