Agni

god of fire and the sacrificial flame

TraditionVedic

The flame on every hearth, carrying what is offered up to heaven.

Agni is fire itself, one of the most invoked deities of the Rigveda. As the sacrificial flame he is the messenger between people and gods, present at every hearth and every rite. He purifies, illuminates, and transforms whatever passes through him.

Presides over Krittika .

Agni also presides jointly with Indra over Vishakha; that pairing has its own entry.
