Navagraha Shanthi

The rite

Navagraha Shanthi is a comprehensive peace puja for the nine planets, using worship, stotra, and optional light havan rather than an all-day homam marathon. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma arranges the grahas on a single mandala at your Bengaluru home, making it a practical choice before griha pravesh, vivah, or when a difficult year ends and the family wants a fresh collective blessing. Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma serves North Indian Vedic pooja at the client house across Bengaluru and nearby towns within the usual visit radius. The WhatsApp thread before the day covers samagri quantities, parking, and whether children or elders need seated arrangements near the altar. Mention any society rules about incense, terrace access, or guest parking when you message on WhatsApp so the visit stays smooth for neighbours and family. You may share photos of your existing altar so Panditji knows what is already on hand before he lists extras on WhatsApp.

Time at the house: About 2–3 hours

Pandit Mrityunjay Sharma does this at the house in Bengaluru. The fee is not printed on this page. It is sent on WhatsApp with the material list.

Why families book it

Families prefer shanthi puja when time is short before a flight, when children need to sleep early, or when society complaints about smoke make full havan risky. It is also booked for newborns named under challenging charts when parents want gentle planetary introduction without intense fire.

Shanthi means calming influence in ritual language, not erasure of life challenges. Panditji explains each graha’s symbolic lesson without fear-mongering. After shanthi, a simple Friday or Saturday lamp schedule is easier to maintain than daily homa for busy households. This page does not list fees, ratings, or street addresses, and it does not promise marriage, job placement, or medical cures. Booking uses the site WhatsApp form; nothing from this page is stored in a database.
