Shanti Hawan is a sacred Hindu ritual performed to invoke peace, harmony, and well-being. "Shanti" in Sanskrit means peace, while "Hawan" refers to a ritual of offering prayers through the medium of fire. During this ceremony, specific mantras are chanted while making offerings into a consecrated fire. These mantras are believed to purify the surroundings, remove negative energies, and promote peace within the environment and the individuals present.

The ritual is often performed during significant life events, such as house-warmings, birthdays, or even to alleviate negative influences or obstacles in one's life. Shanti Hawan can also be conducted during times of distress, seeking solace and harmony. It serves as a reminder of the importance of peace in one's life and is a means to attune oneself with the divine energy.
