    Overview

    Grahan Dosh Shanti Puja for families in Assi Ghat

    In Jyotish, Grahan Yog is said to form when the Sun or Moon is closely associated with Rahu or Ketu in a birth chart. Families also traditionally perform a shanti when a child is born during a solar or lunar eclipse.

    Assi Ghat sits at the southern end of Varanasi's main stretch of ghats, near where the Assi stream traditionally meets the Ganga. It is more open and relaxed than the ghats further north, and its wide steps make it a popular starting point for a morning on the river.

    ब्रह्मा मुरारिस्त्रिपुरान्तकारी भानुः शशी भूमिसुतो बुधश्च।

    गुरुश्च शुक्रः शनिराहुकेतवः सर्वे ग्रहाः शान्तिकरा भवन्तु॥

    Brahmā murāris tripurāntakārī bhānuḥ śaśī bhūmisuto budhaś ca, guruś ca śukraḥ śani rāhu ketavaḥ sarve grahāḥ śāntikarā bhavantu.

    May Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva, and the Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu, all the grahas, bring peace.Navagraha stotra

    Planning Your Puja in Assi Ghat

    Mornings are the calmest time; aim to arrive around sunrise if your ritual includes the Ganga.
    Assi is reachable by road, which makes it easier for elderly family members than ghats deep in the old city.
    Boats can be hired at the ghat for travelling along the river to other ghats.
    Crowds increase significantly around Dev Deepawali, Sawan and major snan days, so book accommodation and Pandits early.
    Check with your guest house before planning a havan indoors or on the terrace.
    Book well ahead of a known eclipse date; Pandits are in high demand.
    Share birth details if the shanti is for a birth during an eclipse.
