Navgraha Shanti is the traditional worship of the nine planets (Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu) with mantra jaap, havan and offerings. Performed by Pandit Mohit Tiwari Ji in Ujjain, it is popular for new beginnings and general planetary balance.
Significance
In Vedic astrology, nine grahas (Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu) are considered to colour the experiences of our lives. Navgraha pujan honours them together, with each graha receiving its own mantra, grain, colour and offering.
It is traditionally performed at the start of a new venture, a new home, a marriage, a child's birth, or during a phase when one wishes to invoke general harmony. It is a gentle and balanced pujan that does not target any one dosh.
Ujjain has been a centre of astronomy since ancient times, and the Kshipra region is rich in graha-related worship. The Skanda Purana's Avanti Khand speaks of Avantika as a sacred city. Jaap counts follow the traditional measure for each graha and are confirmed with Guruji; no result is promised.

Questions about this pujan
When is Navgraha Shanti usually done?
Commonly before a new home, venture or marriage, or when a general shanti is advised. Guruji will suggest a suitable day.
What is the jaap count?
It follows the traditional measure for each graha and depends on the package. Guruji confirms the counts at booking.
Do I need birth details?
It is helpful so that Guruji can see which grahas to give more attention to. You can proceed without them for a general shanti.
