Navgraha Shanti Puja at Mangalnath Mandir, Ujjain
Navgraha Shanti Puja is one anushthan for all nine grahas — Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu. Each is worshipped with its own mantra, colour and offering, followed by a havan.
Why a shanti for all nine grahas
Some charts show strain across several grahas rather than one. Instead of separate pujas, the Navgraha Shanti brings all nine into a single sequence, with each graha honoured in its own place in the mandal.
Families also choose it at the start of something new — a marriage, a new home or a new venture — as a shanti for the whole household. At Mangalnath, the puja is performed at the temple of Mangal, one of the nine.
Families usually book this puja when
- more than one graha is weak or afflicted in the chart
- a major dasha is about to begin
- they are starting something new — a marriage, a home or a business
- they want a yearly shanti for the whole family
How the puja is performed
- Ganesh puja and sankalp — the sankalp is taken in the name of the family sitting for the puja
- Navgraha mandal sthapana — the mandal is laid out with the nine grains and the colour of each graha
- Graha puja and jaap — each graha is worshipped in turn with its own mantra and offering
- Navgraha havan — offerings are made into the fire with the samidha associated with each graha
- Poornahuti, aarti and prasad — the anushthan closes with the poornahuti, aarti and prasad
The exact order and mantras follow the vidhi for your kundli. The pandit explains the full sequence when you book.
Keep these ready when you call

Questions about Navgraha Shanti Puja
How is this different from a single graha puja?
A single graha puja focuses on one planet. Navgraha Shanti includes all nine in one anushthan, which suits charts where several grahas need attention or when the shanti is for the whole family.
How much jaap is done?
The number of mantra recitations depends on the vidhi chosen for your chart. The pandit tells you the jaap count and the time it needs when you book.
Can the whole family sit for it together?
Yes. Navgraha Shanti is often done for a family together. Tell the pandit who will sit so the sankalp includes everyone.
What samagri is used?
Traditionally the nine grains, cloth in each graha’s colour and the samidha of nine sacred trees, along with the havan samagri. Everything is arranged at the temple.
