Overview
Navgraha Shanti addresses the nine celestial bodies of Vedic astrology — Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu — through structured worship and havan, aimed at restoring overall balance rather than targeting a single dosha.
Religious Importance
Each graha is worshipped with its associated deity, colour, flower and grain, drawing on a tradition that treats planetary influence as something that can be eased through devotion and disciplined ritual.
Who Should Perform This Ritual
Recommended when multiple planets are shown to be afflicted in a chart, or as a general annual worship for overall stability, health and prosperity.
Benefits
- Aims to bring balance across career, health and relationships
- A comprehensive alternative to single-planet remedies
- Often performed annually as preventive worship
- Supports mental clarity during major life transitions
When Should It Be Performed
Can be performed on most days after checking the panchang; many families prefer it around their birthday or the start of a new year.
