subjectAbstract

We found description of an experiment entitled effect of Agnihotra on air-borne micro-organisms by H. S. Ravikumar Patil et al from Karnataka, India. They found anti-bacterial and anti-fungal activity of Agnihotra. In this project an experiment on the effect of Agnihotra (Sacred Fire) on the growth of air-borne microbes was carried out. The project involved the exposure of petri dishes with blood agar medium to the atmosphere at constant temperature before and after Agnihotra (Sacred Fire). Result of studies shows significant reduction in number of colonies of microbial growth after the procedure of Agnihotra (sacred Fire).
