If you’ve grown up in an Indian household, you probably remember this scene: evenings when the house smelled faintly of ghee, the sound of aarti bells ringing, and a small flame flickering steadily in the pooja corner. That little diya was always lit with ghee, never with oil, because elders would say, “Ghee ki jyot se ghar mein sukh-shanti aati hai” — the flame of ghee brings peace and prosperity.
At Dev Gir Farm, we wanted to keep that tradition alive. That is how our Pooja Ghee was born — a special batch of pure A2 Gir Cow Ghee, made only for rituals, havans, and spiritual offerings. It’s not just ghee in a jar; it’s something sacred, something that carries intention and purity.
Why Ghee Has Always Been Special in Rituals
Our ancestors didn’t use ghee in rituals by accident. In the Vedas, ghee is called “Agni’s food”. Fire accepts ghee with love, and in return, it carries our prayers upwards. That’s why every ahuti (offering) in a havan usually begins with a spoonful of ghee.
Think of how a diya looks when lit with ghee compared to oil. The flame is steadier, brighter, and somehow more calming to look at. Many believe that light itself has an energy, and the energy of a ghee flame is sattvic — pure, peaceful, and uplifting. That’s why lighting even a single ghee diya every morning and evening is said to keep negativity away and fill the home with positivity.
And beyond belief, even science agrees — burning pure cow ghee releases compounds that help purify the air. Our ancestors may not have used modern words for it, but they knew from experience that ghee smoke was cleansing.
The Thought Behind Dev Gir Farm’s Pooja Ghee
We already make A2 Gir Cow Ghee for daily use, but pooja ghee is something more delicate, more intentional. At Dev Gir Farm, when we started preparing Pooja Ghee, we asked ourselves: “If I had to light a diya for Goddess Lakshmi or offer ghee in a havan, what kind of ghee would I want?” The answer was clear — the purest possible, made with reverence and care.
So we prepare Pooja Ghee in small batches, with the bilona method, the same way our grandparents would make it at home. Milk from our Gir cows is first turned into curd, then churned into butter, and finally simmered slowly to become ghee. No shortcuts, no machines rushing the process. During the process of making ghee from butter ( Makhan ) mantra chanting is continuously done at add religious vibe.
When ghee is made slowly, it doesn’t just taste better; it feels different. It carries that sense of patience and purity, which makes it perfect for pooja.

Where You Can Use Pooja Ghee
You don’t need a big festival to use Pooja Ghee. Even the simplest rituals become more meaningful with it. Here are some ways families often use it:
- Daily Diyas: Light one small ghee diya in the morning or evening. It doesn’t take more than a few drops of ghee, but it sets a peaceful mood for the whole home.
- Aarti Thalis: When you prepare aarti during Navratri, Diwali, or Ganesh Chaturthi, dipping cotton wicks in ghee keeps the flame strong and bright.
- Havan or Yajna: Every offering you make into the sacred fire becomes more powerful when it is accompanied by ghee. That’s why purohits (priests) always insist on pure cow ghee.
- Special Occasions: Housewarming, Satyanarayan katha, wedding rituals — in all of these, ghee lamps are considered essential for inviting blessings.
Even keeping a small diya lit with ghee at your entrance during festivals is believed to bring prosperity into the household.
The Energy Ghee Brings
When people talk about rituals, they often focus only on the action — light a lamp, chant a mantra, offer a flower. But the material you use also has an energy of its own. Imagine lighting a diya with synthetic oil. The flame may burn, but it doesn’t feel alive. Now compare it to ghee: the light looks warmer, the fragrance is soothing, and somehow the whole environment feels charged.
This is what people mean when they say ghee is sattvic. It doesn’t just “work” as fuel; it carries vibrations of peace and prosperity. And when the flame flickers in front of the deity, it feels like your devotion is being carried forward with it.
Why Not Just Use Kitchen Ghee for Rituals?
This is a question many ask. If you already have ghee at home, why buy separate pooja ghee? The answer lies in intention. The ghee you use for cooking is mixed with everyday activities, while pooja ghee is set aside only for devotion.
At Dev Gir Farm, we prepare Pooja Ghee in a separate, clean batch, ensuring it remains untouched by anything else. Just like you keep separate vessels for temple use, this ghee is kept pure only for rituals. That separation itself adds to the sanctity.
A Small Story from Our Farm
One of our oldest workers at the farm, has a habit of lighting a ghee diya at the cowshed every morning before milking begins. He says, “Ye jyot se gaayein bhi khush rehti hai.” (“Even the cows stay happy when this flame is lit.”)
It’s a small act, but it shows how deeply ghee is tied to devotion and gratitude. Watching him do it every day made us realize how something so simple can carry so much meaning. That is the spirit we want to share through our Pooja Ghee.
Bringing It Home
When you bring a jar of Dev Gir Farm’s Pooja Ghee into your home, you’re not just bringing ghee. You’re bringing a piece of tradition, a touch of purity, and a way to make your rituals more meaningful.
Whether you light a single diya at dawn or prepare a grand havan during Navratri, this ghee becomes part of that sacred act. It carries your devotion, your prayers, and your intentions.
Our elders always said, “Prayers done with pure heart and pure materials never go unanswered.” With Pooja Ghee, we hope to give you that purity in its simplest, most authentic form.
Final Words
In a world that’s moving fast, rituals slow us down and connect us back to what matters. They remind us that devotion isn’t about grandeur but about sincerity. And when done with pure offerings — like ghee — they become even more powerful.
So next time you light a diya, watch the flame closely. See how steady it burns, how warm it feels, and how calm it makes your heart. That’s not just a flame — that’s energy, that’s positivity, that’s divine blessing entering your home.
And if you choose to light it with Dev Gir Farm’s Pooja Ghee, you’ll know you’re keeping alive a tradition that has blessed Indian homes for thousands of years.
Sacred Purity. Divine Rituals. Blessings in Every Flame.
Frequently Asked Questions About Pooja Ghee
Why is ghee used in havan and pooja rituals?
In the Vedic tradition, ghee is considered the purest offering to fire. It is believed that when ghee is offered in a havan or used to light a diya, the flame becomes a carrier of prayers, spreading positive energy and purifying the environment. The steady, bright flame of ghee also symbolizes prosperity and divine blessings.
Can I use my regular kitchen ghee for pooja?
Yes, you can, but traditionally people keep a separate jar of ghee only for pooja and rituals. The reason is intention and purity. Just like you keep separate utensils for your home mandir, having dedicated Pooja Ghee ensures sanctity and avoids mixing it with daily cooking.
Which ghee is best for lighting diyas?
Pure cow ghee, especially from indigenous breeds like Gir cows, is considered the best. It burns steadily, gives a golden flame, and carries sattvic (pure and harmonious) vibrations. Dev Gir Farm’s Pooja Ghee is made exclusively for this purpose, ensuring every diya or aarti is filled with divine energy.
What makes Dev Gir Farm’s Pooja Ghee different from other ghee?
Our Pooja Ghee is made in small, dedicated batches using the traditional bilona method. It is kept aside only for spiritual use, prepared with extra care and intention, making it ideal for havans, aartis, and sacred rituals. Unlike ordinary market ghee, this is not mass-produced — it is crafted with devotion.
Can Pooja Ghee be used for cooking?
While it is pure and edible, we recommend reserving Pooja Ghee only for rituals. This maintains its sanctity and aligns with the tradition of offering the best and purest ingredients to the divine. For daily cooking and health, you can use our regular A2 Gir Cow Ghee.
