About Navgraha Puja
Navgraha Puja is a powerful Vedic ritual that worships all nine celestial bodies (planets) that influence human life according to Vedic astrology. Each planet governs specific aspects of life including career, health, relationships, and finances. This comprehensive puja appeases all nine planets simultaneously, creating a balanced cosmic influence and mitigating the negative effects of any afflicted planets in your birth chart.
What Navgraha Puja Is Traditionally Performed For
Balances planetary influences in horoscope
Reduces effects of doshas like Mangal, Shani, Rahu
Improves career and financial prospects
Mental peace and steadiness of mind
Protects from planetary malefic periods
Every item above is a purpose the tradition assigns to this ritual rather than an outcome anybody has measured. No puja on this site is a medical treatment and none is offered as one: if somebody is unwell, the care belongs with a doctor who can examine them, and a ritual sits alongside that and never in place of it.
Puja Process
Sankalpa, individual puja for each planet, Navgraha mantra jaap, Havan, and Aarti
Best Time to Perform
During planetary transits, eclipses, or as recommended by astrologer
Why that vara
Navgraha shanti is the one puja with no single vara, because it addresses all nine grahas and there is no day that belongs to all of them: the seven from the Sun to Saturn own one weekday each, and Rahu and Ketu own none at all, having no hora. It is instead timed to the graha that is actually afflicted in the chart, or to an eclipse, when the nodes are by definition active.
Not begun in Rahu Kaal, and a full muhurat for your date and city has to satisfy the nakshatra, yoga and karana too.
Items Required (Samagri)
Nine types of grains
Navadhanya — one grain per graha, wheat for the Sun, rice for the Moon, toor for Mars, moong for Mercury, chana for Jupiter, white beans for Venus, sesame for Saturn, urad for Rahu and horse gram for Ketu. They are the substance of the graha daan afterwards.
Nine colored cloths
Each graha has its colour and its direction, and the nine cloths are laid out in the navagraha mandala rather than in a row — the Sun at the centre, the rest around it in fixed positions.
Nine types of flowers
Offered graha by graha in sequence rather than together, because the puja is nine short pujas and not one long one.
Navgraha yantra
The nine-chambered plate that holds the mandala. It is what the mantras are directed at when the grahas are not represented by murtis.
Ghee and sesame oil
Ghee for the benefics and sesame oil for Saturn and the nodes. The lamp fuel changes with the graha, which is the most visible instance of the rule that the offering matches the planet.
Samagri is supplied with the booking. Substitutions are normal and regional; the item a rite is defined by is the one that is never substituted.
Worth being clear about
Navgraha shanti is prescribed for a specific affliction found in a specific chart. A puja for all nine grahas performed without knowing which of them is actually weak is a reasonable act of devotion but it is not a remedy for anything in particular.
