Navagraha Shanti Homa
A remedial homa to pacify afflicted planetary positions. Conducted after reviewing your birth chart, with graha-specific japa, samidha and daana appropriate to the dosha being addressed.
A remedial rite is performed when a family is advised to — once, or on a set cycle. We describe what is usually observed; we never promise outcomes.
The sequence differs by region and by family tradition — yours will be confirmed before the day. We describe what families usually observe; we never promise outcomes.
How is Navagraha Shanti Homa booked, and what does it cost?
On House of Purohit, a verified Purohit performs Navagraha Shanti Homa at your home in Bengaluru starting from ₹7,500, and the ceremony takes about 4h. Every price is shown before payment, the samagri (ritual items) list is provided in advance, and the Purohit is matched to your language and family tradition (Smartha, Vaishnava, Madhwa, North Indian). Families unsure whether this is the right ceremony can talk to a Pandit free before booking.

- What samagri is needed for Navagraha Shanti Homa, and who brings it?
- At home, the family usually arranges a few things — share birth details (date, time, place) in advance; ventilated space for the homa kunda; the person for whom it is performed should fast until the homa ends, and the rest of the list on this page. The ritual items themselves come in a samagri kit with the Standard and Elaborate packages; otherwise your Purohit sends the list ahead of the day.
- Can Navagraha Shanti Homa be done in a flat?
- Yes — most ceremonies we arrange are in apartments. Tell us if the space is small, or if there are smoke alarms; where a fire ritual is part of it, your Purohit plans for the room you have.
- What if the muhurat falls in Rahu kalam?
- When you choose a date, each time window shows its muhurat and whether it overlaps Rahu kalam. Families usually avoid it where the day allows; if it cannot be avoided, your Purohit will say what your tradition does.
- Who takes part in Navagraha Shanti Homa?
- A verified Purohit conducts it; the person or couple the ceremony is for sits for the sankalpa, and family may join. Nothing else is needed from you but the name said aloud at the start — and a gotra, if your family knows it.
- How long does Navagraha Shanti Homa take?
- About 4h, though this can vary with your family's tradition.
- Can House of Purohit provide the Purohit?
- Yes — a verified Purohit performs Navagraha Shanti Homa at your home, with pricing shown before you book.
- Is Navagraha Shanti Homa available in Bengaluru?
- Yes, in Bengaluru, from ₹7,500.
★★★★☆“Knowledgeable purohit and the kit was complete. Would have liked a bit more explanation of the mantras for the children.”
