1. A receptacle (pot) in correct step-pyramid shape in prescribed dimensions made of copper or clay. This copper or clay 'kund' (pot) is available on at Madhavashram. It cannot be had in market shops.
2. Daily sunrise-sunset timetable for the whole year applicable to the place of performance. Such timetable applicable to the places can be obtained by a request email to Madhavashram.
3. Two drops of pure cow-ghee and few grains of whole, unbroken rice sufficient for one time performance. 250 grams of unbroken rice and fifty grams of cow-ghee would suffice for a month's performance (daily at sun-rise and sun-set). It would be easy to make this little quantity of cow-ghee at home every month if cow-milk is available. Only cow- ghee is to be used for oblations in Agnihotra, no other kind of ghee is allowed.
4. Dried cow-dung cakes prepared hygienically. Two small, thin cow-dung cakes are sufficient for the one time Agnihotra.
5. Camphor crystals (deshi kapoor) and a matchbox for lighting the cow-dung cakes and prepare the fire for offering oblations in the copper or clay 'kund'.
