About Navagraha Shanti
Navagraha Shanti is a ritual to pacify the nine planets (Surya, Chandra, Kuja, Budha, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu) that shape a person's horoscope. It is performed during unfavourable dashas or doshas, before a marriage or a new venture, or as part of house-warming rituals. Each graha is worshipped with its own mantra, colour, grain and flower.
