'''Samidadhanam''' (Samskrit : समिदाधानम्) also known as '''Agnikaryam''' is the [[Yajna]] performed in a ''loukika agni'' (grhyagni) by [[brahmacharis]] (celibate bachelors). The Agnikarya is performed with the help of ''Samits'' or small wooden sticks or twigs usually of ''Arali'' (Ficus Religiosa) tree. 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.

It is prescribed by vedas that all the dvijas (the ‘twice-born,’ through Upanayana) of the first three varṇas are to be initiated into performing Samidhadhanam.
