Navgraha Shanti Puja

In Hindu scriptures, Navagrahas, the nine planets, are worshipped as they have the power to influence our lives. The nine grahas- Surya, Chandra, Mangala, Buddh, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu, all affect different spheres of our lives, positively or negatively- depending on their position. To reduce the ill effects of the malefic planets and to solve the problems that arise with their transitions, Navgraha Shanti Puja is performed.
