'''Samidadhanam''' (Samskrit : समिदाधानम्) also known as '''Agnikaryam''' is the [[Yajna]] performed in a ''loukika agni'' (grhyagni) by [[brahmacharis]] (celibate bachelors). This [[Homa (ritual)|homa]] is performed daily twice: once in the morning and again in the evening. These two are respectively called Pratah Agnikaryam and Sayam Agnikaryam. The method and mantras of performing the Agnikaryam are different for Rigveda and Yajurveda.
