Puffed rice offered as oblations into the sacred fire by the bride while keeping the palms of her hands over those of the groom. In this ceremony some fried grains and butter are poured in the joined hand of the bride by the mother or brother or by somebody representing the brother, which she poured in the fire and rest of the havis is to be poured by the bridegroom, reciting mantras. Then the bride is made to loosen the two lock of her hair, and then the groom pours vermilion.

This is the oblation of popped rice, (lajahoma), being wedded to each other (parinayanam) and ascending the stone (shilarohan) and are performed in sequence. Lajahoma is conducted, which is an invocation to the gods before the starting of the main ceremony the bride and the groom stand up and the bride cups her palms. The groom pours a spoonful of ghee into her palms and then puts in a handful of popped rice. Usually, in practice, the girl's brother pours puffed rice into the boy's hands. The boy then transfers this rice to the fire as an offering. Then the groom pours in a spoonful of ghee and, holding the bride's hands in his, offers the popped rice to the fire. The groom then says that the fire called Aryaman, to whom the oblation is offered, may enable the bride to strengthen the ties with her marital family. Then he holds the bride's hand and takes a round about the fire and the kalash (pitcher of water). The bride then ascends a grinding stone, and is asked to be as firm and strong as the stone. This offering of the popped rice and the circumambulation of the fire and the ascent onto the stone is repeated thrice and each time the couple wishes for togetherness and longevity.
