Navagraha

In Hinduism, there are nine planets which are of great significance. These planets are: Surya (sun), Chandrama (Moon), Mangal (Mars), Budh (Mercury), Guru (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn), the Moon's nodes which are Rahu (Dragon's Head) and Ketu (Dragon's tail). Surya is in the center and other planets are all around. These planets play a big role in Hindu Astrology.

The Lords of these planets are named after the planets themselves and they are worshipped in almost every aspect of Hinduism from a simple puja to an elaborate yagna or wedding. Worship of these deities brings forth blessings in the form of protection and success in various undertakings.

Navagraha Abhishekam is performed every 3rd Saturday of the month.
