About Navagraha Shanti
The Navagraha Shanti is the puja of the nine planetary deities — Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu — worshipped in the traditional order with their own grains, cloths, woods and mantras. Each graha has a fixed number of japa and its own samidha for the havan.
It is kept at a birth, before a marriage, at the start of a dasha, and where a family's custom asks for it annually. The tradition describes it as an act of propitiation and nothing on this site will describe it as producing an outcome. Three hours, at home, with a havan as its closing part.
Keeping a rite in Nalanda
Nalanda district is small towns and villages around Bihar Sharif, and the custom kept is Magadh's — explained in Magahi more often than in Hindi, and following the practice of a particular tract rather than of the district. Households describe their rites as their village's, and they are right to.
There is space here that a city does not have, so havans and open-air rites are straightforward. Samagri for anything beyond the common list is bought in Bihar Sharif or brought from Patna, which is an hour and a half away.
