The '''Somayajña''' is a [[Yajna#Types|yajña]] (ritual) performed for appeasing the celestial entities in Hinduism. It is primarily performed to promote the wellbeing of all humanity. The ritual is based on methods prescribed in the [[Vedas]]. [[Soma (drink)#Vedic Soma|Soma]] is used as the main oblation in this [[yajna]], hence the name Somayajña. The Soma plant, the king of medicinal herbs, is said to be relished by the celestials.
