Abstract
Air Pollution is harmful to human health. Poor air quality can lead to life-threatening diseases. We have to defend ourselves from the viruses entering our immune system. Agnihotra/Yagya is a gift to humanity from ancient Vedic Science. It refers to a ritual performed through the fire prepared in a copper pyramid, along with the chanting of Sanskrit mantras. We aim to analyze the effect of Yagya on air pollutants. In our research, we propose a novel system using the Internet of Things (IoT), cloud technologies followed by data analytics to measure the concentration of pollutants in the air. The data will be gathered from IoT-based sensing units and stored on a cloud system. The analytical model is automated through machine learning and data visualization techniques. The pollutant concentration is measured before and after Agnihotra. The amalgamation of Vedic science with computer technology may lead to sustainable development by curtailing pollutants in the air.
