About this episode

This week on Swaad Aswaad, we welcome Somayaji Suhota Apte, an 8th-generation Purohit from Mapusa, deeply rooted in the Vedic tradition. A Shraut Agnihotri & practitioner of Agnihotra since 2018, he received his formal Vaidik education at Shankar Pathshala, Kavlem, studying the Yajurveda, Puranas, Mahabharata, & Ramayana. He has led 8 Somayagas & conducted major yagyas at 5 Jyotirlingas in 2025—Rameshwaram, Bhimashankar, Mallikarjun, Somnath, and Nageshwar—which drew national attention and scientific interest. Author of the ‘Yajurveda Samhita’ (2024) & poetry collection ‘Seema ani Anta’, Suhota also gained a wide audience during the 2020 pandemic with his pooja videos. This episode, he prepares Sakhar Bhat, while his wife makes a flavorful Ananasachi Bhaji.
