Navgrah Shanti Puja (नवग्रह शांति पूजा) is a powerful Vedic ritual performed to appease the nine celestial planets (Navgrahas) — Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Mangal (Mars), Budh (Mercury), Guru/Brihaspati (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn), Rahu, and Ketu. According to Vedic astrology, the positions of these planets influence an individual’s life, health, career, relationships, and overall destiny. If the planets are unfavorable, they can create dosh (imbalances) that lead to obstacles and suffering. Navgrah Shanti Puja helps balance planetary energies, remove doshas, and bring peace, prosperity, and protection.
