Day 6: Rajasuya Yagna, Ritual of Sovereignty

Today is the day of Rajasuya Yagna, a ritual of sovereignty and the declaration of the kingship of the Empire.

In this event, the palace grounds were filled with numerous homa's . Vijay, looking at the whole scene from a stage above, saw what looked like bonfires burning throughout the palace grounds. The priests near the homa's chanted mantras and poured ghee with a wooden spoon. As they kept chanting the mantras, the main Homa on the main stage was also lit up. The senior priest, under the watchful eyes of the ministers and family, made both Vijay and Kavya sit down next to the homa. His chanting synchronized with the priests below, and various rituals were performed. Vijay felt a little dazed, feeling unreal. Becoming the emperor of Vijayanagara and now taking his first step to revive the cultural identity of Bharat, which had not been awakened until January 22nd, 2024, was an unreal feeling for him.
