Since the ascent of man, fire has played a very important role in the development of human beings. Agni, the primary god on Earth, possessed both constructive and destructive fire powers. In mythological books, there are numerous stories about his origin and a description of his form. In the Rigveda (R 4.58.3), he has been described as a creature with two heads, three legs, four horns, and seven lungs. It is also said that he was born before all evil spirits and therefore has to perform the prime role in all religious ceremonies.

Dasbodha says that it dwells in all the elements on earth, either in visible or invisible form. Its visible form is flame, which also has different forms. Each of which is strongly associated with the specific purpose or use and thus easily predictable in terms of meaning. As we are associated with fire and flame from childhood and with its presence in our daily lives, we neglect its visual richness, which we feel is obvious.
