Navgraha Daan (All 9 Planets Donation)

Navgraha Daan is a sacred Vedic practice of offering donations associated with the nine planetary deities namely Surya, Chandra, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu to seek their blessings and harmonise planetary influences in one's life.

According to Vedic astrology, the Navgrahas govern different aspects of human existence, including health, wealth, relationships, career, intelligence, prosperity, spiritual growth and karmic experiences. Unfavourable planetary placements, doshas or challenging planetary periods may create obstacles, delays, conflicts and imbalances in these areas.

Navgraha Daan is traditionally performed as a remedial measure to pacify adverse planetary influences, reduce karmic burdens, disharmony, losses and accidents, and invite divine grace. Each Graha Daan is performed on its designated weekday with offerings associated with that planetary deity.

Day-wise Graha Daan Schedule:

• Sunday – Surya (Sun)Surya laghu daan..
• Monday – Chandra (Moon)
• Tuesday – Mangal (Mars) and Ketu
• Wednesday – Budh (Mercury)
• Thursday – Guru (Jupiter)
• Friday – Shukra (Venus)
• Saturday – Shani (Saturn) and Rahu

Laghu Daan involves a traditional donation of essential items associated with each planetary deity. Mahadaan is a more elaborate form of donation involving a wider selection and quantity of offerings associated with the respective Graha.
