The nine planets have special kshetras (place of worship) in South
India. Most of them are concentrated near the Thanjavur district. Navagraha
puja will be helpful, when the concerned planet dasa or sub-dasa is
in operation or if the planet is associated with malefic or is in the
3rd, 6th, 8th, or 12th house.
The planets have an influence on our daily routine. When we do the
Navgraha puja in our house we keep 9 Supari [betel nut] in 3 rows with
3 Suparis each representing one planet. This puja is very essential
to reduce the negative effects and improve the positive energies related
to an individual.
The 9 Planets are as follows:
- SUN
- MOON
- MARS
- MERCURY
- VENUS
- JUPITER
- SATURN
- RAHU
- KETU
