    About Surya Graha Shanti

    Surya is the soul of the Navagraha, the visible source of light and life, associated in Jyotish with the self, vitality, confidence, leadership and one's relationship with father and authority. Surya Graha Shanti is a bright, uplifting ritual performed to honour him.

    Online Surya Graha Shanti: FAQs

    Which day and time are best?

    Sunday at sunrise is the traditional choice. Makar Sankranti and Ratha Saptami are also considered especially suitable.

    Can it be done online or on behalf of my father?

    Yes. The sankalp can be taken in your father's or any family member's name, and you can join via live video.

    How does an online puja work?

    You share your name, gotra (if known), the names of family members to include and your intention. At the scheduled time, the Pandit performs the sankalp in your name and conducts the ritual while you join by video call and follow along.

    Which pujas can be performed online?

    Many pujas, paths and homams can be performed with an online sankalp. Rituals that fundamentally need the family on-site, such as Griha Pravesh, Bhoomi Puja, Vivah or Asthi Visarjan, are offered in person. Each puja page shows the options available.

    Can I book from the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, UAE or Singapore?

    Yes, you can enquire from anywhere. We schedule around your time zone where the muhurat allows, and share the details on WhatsApp.

    What do I need at home for an online puja?

    A quiet space, a stable internet connection and a simple setup such as a diya, incense and flowers is usually enough. The Pandit will tell you if anything specific is recommended.
