Navgrah Shanti Puja is performed to appease the nine planets (Navgrah) in Vedic astrology, which are believed to govern various aspects of life. The planets include the Sun (Surya), Moon (Chandra), Mars (Mangal), Mercury (Budh), Jupiter (Guru), Venus (Shukra), Saturn (Shani), Rahu, and Ketu. The placement of these planets in a birth chart can bring both positive and negative influences. When the planets are not in favorable positions, they can cause various challenges, such as health issues, financial difficulties, relationship problems, and career obstacles.
