What is Navagraha Homam?
Each planet has a traditional samidha — arka for Surya, palasha for Chandra, khadira for Mangala, apamarga for Budha, ashwattha for Guru, udumbara for Shukra, shami for Shani, durva for Rahu and kusha for Ketu — offered into the fire with that graha’s mantra.
The homam is commonly part of griha pravesh and weddings, and is performed on its own for dasha changes, Sade Sati and other afflictions.
