What is Navagraha Shanti Pooja?

Each graha is invoked on its own place in a navagraha mandala, with its own grain, coloured cloth, flower and mantra. Worshipping all nine together restores balance when one or more planets are believed to be troubling the native.

It is a pooja without a fire ritual; when a homam is added, it becomes a Navagraha Homam.
