Book a Pandit for Navgraha Shanti Puja
Navgraha Shanti puja is the combined worship of the nine grahas, Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu, with mantra jaap and a havan as a prayer for the planets to be calm and favourable. Families arrange it before a major undertaking, during a difficult phase, or simply as a prayer for balance and peace.
What the Navgraha Shanti Pooja includes
- Sankalp and Ganesh puja
- Kalash sthapana
- Setting up the navgraha mandal
- Worship and mantra jaap for each graha
- Havan with each graha's samidha
- Purnahuti and aarti
- Daan of items linked with the grahas
When to do it — the muhurat
Navgraha Shanti puja is held before major events like a griha pravesh, a wedding or a new business, on birthdays, or during a difficult dasha or Sade Sati. An auspicious tithi and weekday are chosen, and many pandits look at the kundli to give extra attention to the planet whose dasha is running. Let your pandit fix the date.

When should Navgraha Shanti puja be done?
People hold it before a major undertaking, on birthdays, or during phases like a difficult dasha or Sade Sati. It is a faith-based puja, so approach it calmly and with devotion rather than out of fear.
Is a kundli needed for Navgraha Shanti?
A kundli is not needed for a general Navgraha Shanti puja; the sankalp is taken with your name and gotra. If a particular planet is the focus, the pandit may look at the kundli and give more weight to that planet's jaap and daan.
How long does a Navgraha Shanti puja take?
With havan, a Navgraha Shanti puja usually takes 2 to 3 hours. If a large count of mantra jaap is planned for each planet, the anushthan is spread over several days.
Can Navgraha Shanti puja be done online?
Yes, many pandits on Achman also offer online pooja. Families who want to take part in the havan themselves may prefer a puja at home.
