Navagraha Homam
Prayer centred on the nine grahas
Navagraha Homam is a fire ceremony associated with the nine grahas of Hindu astrological tradition. Families undertake it as a devotional observance, with prayers for harmony and well-being.
The preparation gives special attention to nine grains and ritual cloths. Keeping those offerings clearly separated helps the priest conduct the ceremony without last-minute confusion. The specific intention and sequence should come from the priest guiding the observance.
Confirm your final list, quantities and regional customs with your priest, including what the venue supplies. These products are sold individually, not as a complete ceremony kit.

Navagraha Homam: meaning & preparation
What does navadhanya mean in this list?
It means nine specified grains or pulses: wheat, rice, toor dal, moong dal, chana dal, rajma, sesame, urad dal and horse gram. This guide calls for one-quarter pound of each.
How many cloths are needed?
Nine: two red, two white, and one each of green, yellow, blue, black and printed fabric. The list specifies 75 cm for each. A single angavastram does not replace this set.
How do we choose quantities and pack sizes?
Follow the quantities listed for this ceremony. Products are sold as retail packs: measure the ceremony quantity from the pack and keep any remainder for later use. Ask the priest to clarify any quantity that the list leaves unspecified.
Do we need to buy every product shown?
No. Some cards offer alternatives, such as coconut types or lamp oils. Choose the option your priest requests, reuse suitable items you own and avoid buying every alternative.
Does this page include everything for the ceremony?
It includes matched products from our catalog and a separate list of requirements to arrange elsewhere. Review both sections and confirm any regional additions with the priest.
How should we organise the items on the day?
Separate powders, lamp supplies, flowers, offerings and vessels before the priest arrives. Keep food offerings separate from products intended only for worship, and retain the checklist for a final count.
