Abstract
The Agnivesyagrhyasutra is one of the lesser-known Gṛhyasutras, a class of ancient Sanskrit texts that deal with domestic rituals and social customs in Vedic tradition. These texts primarily prescribe the procedures for household rites (samskaras) such as birth, naming, initiation (upanayana), marriage, and funeral ceremonies, reflecting everyday religious life rather than large public sacrifices.
