Navagraha Puja is a Hindu ritual that worships the nine celestial bodies or planets, known as the Navagrahas. The Navagrahas include the Sun (Surya), Moon (Chandra), Mars (Mangala), Mercury (Budha), Jupiter (Brihaspati), Venus (Shukra), Saturn (Shani), Rahu (North Lunar Node), and Ketu (South Lunar Node). In Hindu astrology, these planets are believed to influence various aspects of an individual’s life and destiny.

Navagraha Puja is performed to seek the blessings and mitigate the malefic effects of these celestial bodies. The puja is usually conducted by individuals, families, or communities to bring about harmony, balance, and positive energy in their lives. Devotees offer prayers, chant mantras, and make offerings to each of the Navagrahas during the puja.

The timing and specific rituals of Navagraha Puja may vary based on regional customs, personal preferences, and astrological considerations. It is often recommended to perform this puja on certain days that are considered auspicious, such as Sundays for the Sun, Mondays for the Moon, and so on.

Navagraha Puja is considered beneficial for those facing challenges or difficulties in various aspects of life, including health, career, relationships, and overall well-being. It is believed that by propitiating the Navagrahas, individuals can reduce the negative influences and enhance the positive energies associated with each celestial body
