Navagraha Puja and individual graha shanti rituals traditionally performed during challenging planetary periods.
About these rituals
In Vedic astrology, the nine grahas are traditionally associated with different aspects of life. Graha shanti pujas combine mantra jaap, offerings and havan dedicated to a specific graha or to all nine together.
