    WHAT?
    "samidh" means wood. "AdhAnam" means placing.
    samidAdhAnam is placing of wooden sticks called "samidh" in the sacrificial fire, agni.
    Samidh sticks must be preferably those of the palaasha alias purasam alias flame of the
    forest alias kinshuka alias dhAk alias Buteau Frondosa tree. Otherwise they can be those
    of the "ashvattha alias arasam alias peepal alias sacred fig alias Ficus Religiosa " tree.
    It is a prayer to agni dEvataa offered by brahmachaarees (bachelors) in the morning and
    evening twilight, following the sandhyAvanadanam karmA. The boy offers 12 samid sticks
    into agni accompanied by mantrAs.
    Both soorya (sun god) and agni (fire god) are an intergral part of a brahmachaarI's life.

    In ViShnu purAnA, brahmachAri varNan, Chapter 3, adhyAy 9, verse 9,


    Sage Ourva expounds:
    उभॆ सयॆ रवं भूप तथैवािनं समाहत: ।
    उपतॆदा कुयाुरॊरयभवादनम्॥
    ubhE sandhyE raviM bhoopa tathaivaagniM samaahita: |
    upatiShThEttadaa kuryaadgurOrapyabhivaaadanam||
    A bachelor should with devotion pray to soorya and agni during both the sandhyA kAlAs
    and also do abhivAdan to his guru.
    WHO?
    Only a bachelor (brahmachaari) who has been initiated into the sacred thread can do
    samidAdhAnam.
    WHEN?
    samidAdhAnam should be done in the morning and in the evening after the
    sandhyAvandanam.
    WHY?
    At the time of "upanayanA" the boy child is initiated into the gAyatri mantra and is
    endowed with 2 basic daily duties i.e. the trikAla sandhyOpAsanA and the samidAdhAnA.
    Both these karmAs go a long way in moulding the child all through his formative years.
    soorya and agni are his friend gods who bestow intelligence, prosperity, good progeny,
    strength and vigour. They are also his guards as well as witnesses. They protect him
    against evil and bad company. sandhyAvandanam and samidadhAnam when done
    honestly, grants the child with abundant energy and pure mind.
