What is Navagraha Homam?
Navagraha Homam is a fire ritual for the nine planets, offering each graha its own samidha (sacred wood) and mantras to reduce malefic influences in the horoscope and to bless new beginnings.
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.
