Almost all Vedic rituals and practices begin by invoking the blessings of Agneya as well as seven other celestial Goddesses, "Dhik Devadais" ("Angel guarding the 8 Directions"), and Demi-Gods.

Agneya is also worshiped as the Goddess guarding the "Southeast" direction in Vaastu Shastra - an ancient text that recommends constructing the Kitchen in the south east corner of each household.
