Description

In Hinduism, Yajña (Sanksrit यज्ञ yajña; also anglicized as Yagna, Yagya or Yadnya is a ritual signifying offerings, sacrifice before deity of fire.

It is the worship, prayer, praise; offering, oblation, sacrifice derived from the practice of Vedic times. An essential element is the sacrificial fire - the divine Agni - into which oblations are poured, as everything that is offered into the fire is believed to reach the gods.

As the name of the service, the term Yagna is linguistically (but not functionally) cognate with Zorastrian (Ahura) Yasna. Unlike Hinduism's Vedic Yajna dedicated to fire, Zoroastrian Yasna has to do with water rather than fire.
