What is the meaning of Ashwamedha Yaga?
Ashwamedha Yaga (or Ashwamedha sacrifice) is a Vedic ritual performed by ancient Indian kings to demonstrate their power and authority over neighboring kingdoms. The word 'Ashwamedha' is derived from two Sanskrit words - 'ashwa' meaning horse and 'medha' meaning sacrifice. In this ritual, a specially chosen horse is released to wander freely through neighboring kingdoms, accompanied by a large army. If the horse is captured by another kingdom, it is seen as a challenge to the king's power, and the capturing king must either submit to the king who initiated the Ashwamedha Yaga or face war. If the horse returns safely after a year of wandering, the king who initiated the ritual is declared victorious and is believed to have gained control over all the kingdoms through which the horse passed.
