Havan (Homam)
Havan (also known as Homam) is an ancient Vedic fire ritual performed to invoke divine energies through sacred fire (Agni), which acts as a medium between the devotee and the deities. It is a spiritually purifying ceremony that removes negative energies, promotes well-being, and attracts peace, prosperity, and blessings into one's life.
During the Havan, offerings like ghee, grains, herbs, and wood are poured into the fire while chanting powerful Vedic mantras and sankalpa (intentions). The fire carries these offerings to the divine realms, purifying the environment and the soul.
There are various types of Havans, each with specific intentions, such as:
1- Ganapati Havan for obstacle removal
2- Navagraha Havan for planetary balance
3- Maha Mrityunjaya Havan for health and protection
4- Sudarshan Havan for protection and energy cleansing
5- Lakshmi Kubera Havan for wealth and abundance

Navagraha Shanti Puja is a powerful Vedic ritual performed to pacify the nine celestial influencers (Navagrahas): Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Mangal (Mars), Budh (Mercury), Guru (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn), Rahu, and Ketu. These planets govern various aspects of life including career, health, relationships, finances, and spiritual growth.
When malefic planetary positions or Doshas (like Shani Dosh, Rahu-Ketu Dosh, Manglik Dosh) are present in one's horoscope, they can cause challenges and instability. Navagraha Shanti Puja helps to neutralize these effects, align planetary energies, and bring harmony to life.

1- Major life events (marriage, childbirth, job changes)
2- During or after Sade Sati, Dasha periods, or eclipses
3- For ongoing struggles in health, finances, or relationships

This dosh occurs when Mars is positioned unfavorably in certain houses of the birth chart, often causing delays or problems in marriage, relationships, health, and finances.
Mars is a fiery planet associated with energy, aggression, and ambition. When imbalanced, it can lead to conflicts, separations, and instability in personal and marital life. This puja helps to calm Mars, bring emotional balance, and restore harmony.
