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 Varanasi
Varanasi does more ritual per day than any city on this list, and the effect is that everything is available and nothing is quiet. A rite kept on a ghat shares the ghat; one kept at a temple is fitted between the temple's own aartis, which are fixed and do not move for a booking.
The city's own pandits are trained in karmakanda to a depth that is unusual, so a question about why a step is done a particular way tends to get an answer from a named authority. The lanes are the practical constraint: the last stretch to most addresses is walked, and samagri is carried in.
