🎁 For Navagraha Homam
Navagraha Homam Kit — the Navgrah Havan Samagri List
The navgrah havan samagri for a Navagraha Homam at home, with the nine kept apart: each graha's samidha in its own labelled bundle, its grain in its own bag and its cloth folded in order, so the purohit offers the right wood to the right graha without sorting at the fire. The havan samagri, cow ghee and the archana set complete the box.
About this kit
What the Navagraha Homam Kit is for
Navagraha Homam offers each of the nine grahas its own samidha into the fire with its own mantra — arka for Surya, palasa for Chandra, khadira for Kuja, apamarga for Budha, pippala for Guru, udumbara for Sukra, sami for Sani, durva for Rahu, darbha for Ketu — in a set count for each. That is what makes its samagri different from any other homam: nine woods, not one, and the count per graha matters. A kit that arrives mixed leaves the purohit sorting sticks by bark.
The kit is assembled with the nine samidha bundles tied and labelled by graha, the navadhanyam in nine bags, the nine cloths folded in graha order, and the havan samagri and cow ghee measured for a standard homam of one purohit. It is performed for graha doshas, at a dasha change, before a marriage and at a Gruha Pravesham. The Navagraha Pooja Kit is the pooja-only form; this kit includes what that pooja needs.

Through the ceremony
How the samagri is used in Navagraha Homam
Mandala and kundam
The navagraha mandala is drawn with the nine cloths and grain heaps in position, and the homa kundam is set on its liner and sand bed beside it with the nine samidha bundles laid in graha order.
Navagraha Pooja
Sankalpam, Ganapathi Pooja, and the avahanam and archana of the nine grahas with the archana set — the pooja form in full.
Agni pratishta
The fire is kindled with camphor and the base samidha, and Agni is invoked and worshipped.
Graha by graha
For each graha in turn, its mantra is offered with its own samidha, ghee and a pinch of havan samagri in the set count — twenty-eight or a hundred and eight per graha as the family's form holds.
Purnahuti
The dry coconut and the remaining offerings go into the fire with the purnahuti mantra, and the nine-wick lamp is lit.
Dana and harathi
The cloths, grains and coins are given as graha dana, raksha is applied, and camphor harathi closes the homam.

Common questions
Before you book
What is on the navgrah havan samagri list?
The archana powders and flowers; nine samidha bundles, one per graha, labelled; navadhanyam in nine bags; nine coloured cloths; havan samagri and cow ghee; camphor, cotton wicks and matchboxes. The kundam, sand, mandala flour and the nine-wick lamp are arranged at home or ordered separately.
Which samidha belongs to which graha?
Surya — arka (jilledu). Chandra — palasa (moduga). Kuja — khadira (chandra). Budha — apamarga (uttareni). Guru — pippala (raavi). Sukra — udumbara (medi). Sani — sami (jammi). Rahu — durva (garike). Ketu — darbha. The bundles are labelled in this order.
How many ahutis per graha?
Commonly twenty-eight or a hundred and eight per graha with the graha's mula mantra, with the Navagraha Pooja before and the purnahuti after. The kit is measured for the hundred-and-eight count with one purohit; tell us if your family's form runs more.
What is the difference between this kit and the Navagraha Pooja Kit?
The pooja kit carries the nine grains, cloths, small samidha bundles and the nine-wick lamp for the pooja alone. This kit carries the samidha in homam quantity, the havan samagri and cow ghee for the fire, and the grains and cloths the pooja needs; it does not include the nine-wick lamp.
Is Navagraha Homam the right remedy for my dosha?
That is an astrology question — Navagraha Homam is a general pacification of the nine, and a specific dosha may call for a specific graha's homam or japam. Share what you were advised, or ask for a consultation before ordering.
