Navgraha Shanti Puja
A complete worship of Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu through avahan, mantra-japa, offerings and havan.
Navgraha Shanti collectively honours the nine grahas. The ritual normally begins with sankalp and Ganesh puja, then Navgraha avahan, separate or collective mantra and upachara for each graha, followed by havan and purnahuti. When the booking is based on a kundli, one or more planets can be given special emphasis. It is also commonly incorporated into larger rituals such as Griha Pravesh and Vastu Shanti. Choose it for general nine-planet shanti, for multiple graha concerns at once, or before an important beginning.
