Rāṣṭrabhṛddhoma (राष्ट्रभृद्धोम) refers to one of the various marriage rites of the Hindu Newars, mentioned in the Daśakarmavidhi: a marriage handbook from Bhaktapur containing both Hindu and Newar marriage ceremonies.—Despite many congruencies between Hindu Parbatiyā and Hindu Newar marriage handbooks, it becomes evident that Newar marriage handbooks mention specific ritual elements that cannot be found in the Brahmanical-Sanskritic texts.—The Rāṣṭrabhṛddhoma rite is usually performed at the house of the groom and is mentioned under the sub-heading of Fire sacrifices (vivāhahoma) and is preceded by the worship of various deities in flasks and praṇīta vessel, etc.
