Overview

Navagraha Puja for families in Rathyatra

Navagraha Puja honours the nine celestial influences of Jyotish in a single, complete ritual. Rather than focusing on one planet, the Pandit invites all nine grahas onto a consecrated mandala, offers each its traditional grain, flower and mantra, and prays for harmony across every area of life. For many families it is the most natural starting point when they want a graha shanti but are not sure which planet to focus on.

Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.

ब्रह्मा मुरारिस्त्रिपुरान्तकारी भानुः शशी भूमिसुतो बुधश्च।

गुरुश्च शुक्रः शनिराहुकेतवः सर्वे ग्रहाः शान्तिकरा भवन्तु॥

Planning Your Puja in Rathyatra

The crossing is congested for much of the day; early-morning slots are easiest.
During the Rath Yatra fair, expect road diversions and heavy crowds nearby.
Commercial buildings may restrict open flames, so check before a havan.
Parking can be limited near the crossing; arrange a drop-off point for the Pandit.
Share birth details if an astrologer recommended graha shanti.
Decide whether to include a havan, and confirm the venue allows it.

Navagraha Puja in Rathyatra: FAQs

If yours is not here, ask it. A real person answers every message on WhatsApp.

Can a Pandit come to my home in Rathyatra for Navagraha Puja?

Yes. Share your location in Rathyatra, your preferred date and your family's tradition on WhatsApp. We confirm a Pandit who can come to your home, apartment or venue in and around Rathyatra, Varanasi, along with timing and pricing before you book.

How far in advance should I book Navagraha Puja in Rathyatra?

For popular muhurat dates and festival seasons, it helps to enquire a week or two ahead where possible. For other dates, shorter notice is often manageable, we confirm availability on WhatsApp.

How much does Navagraha Puja cost in Varanasi?

The cost depends on the vidhi, the number of Pandits and travel within Varanasi. Samagri is not included in the dakshina; it is at an additional cost, agreed after discussion with Pandit ji. We share a clear quote on WhatsApp after understanding your requirements, before you confirm anything.

Can I get a Navagraha Puja done in Varanasi during a short visit?

Yes. It usually takes 2 to 3 hours and can be arranged at your hotel or guest house.

Do I need my kundali for Navagraha Puja?

No. Navagraha Puja can be performed with just your name and gotra. If you share birth details, the Pandit can include them in the sankalp, and if you want to understand your chart first, a separate kundali consultation can be arranged.

What is the difference between Navagraha Puja and Navagraha Homam?

Navagraha Puja centres on worship and mantras for the nine grahas. A homam adds a fire ritual with offerings for each graha. Many families combine both; the Pandit can suggest what suits your intention.
