Summary: "This film presents part of a much fuller record of the Agnicayana or Atirātra, a Vedic ritual of sacrifice. It was performed, perhaps for the last time, in April, 1975, by Nambudiri Brahmans in Panjal, a village in Kerala, southwest India. In relative isolation and through the centuries this Nambudiri community has remained faithful to its Vedic heritage.
