    Overview

    Grahan Dosh Shanti Puja for families in Kedar 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.

    Kedar Ghat is one of the most recognisable ghats in south Varanasi, with its distinctive painted steps and the Kedareshwar Shiva temple above it. The ghat is a popular place for a morning Ganga snan, and it is busy but less hectic than the central ghats.

    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 Kedar Ghat

    Tell us your family's tradition and preferred language, such as Tamil, Telugu or Kannada, when you enquire.
    Vehicles usually stop short of the ghat, so expect a short walk through lanes.
    Early mornings are the best time for snan and riverside sankalp.
    Sawan Mondays and Kartik bring heavy crowds; plan early.
    Guest houses run for pilgrims may have their own rules about havans, so ask first.
    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.
