Puja at Durgiana Temple

Navagraha Havan is also known as Navagraha Homam which involves worshipping the nine celestial bodies or planets that are believed to have an important role in human life. The term "Navagraha" means nine celestial bodies in Sanskrit where nava means nine and Graha means planet or celestial body. These planets include Surya (Sun), Chandra (Moon), Mangala (Mars), Budha (Mercury), Brihaspati (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn), Rahu (North Lunar Node) and Ketu (South Lunar Node). The Navagraha Havanat Durgiana Temple is performed to take blessings for a good life including health, wealth, family and overall well-being.

Maa Durga is known as one of the powerful and widely worshiped goddess. She is considered the mother of the universe and is particularly revered in the form of Mahishasura Mardini, the slayer of the buffalo demon Mahishasura.

Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran Puja occurs when all seven planets come between Ketu and Rahu in a horoscope. Therefore, the person with such a horoscope is affected by Ketu and Rahu. This is known as Sarp Dosh and is believed to have very adverse effects. To be free of these adverse effects the person must do the Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja.

When a child is born into the Nakshatras of Rewati, Ashlesha, Jayeshtha, Mool, Magha or Ashwini then it is believed that a person has Gandmool Dosh. To remove the effects of this dosh or to reduce the effects of it a person needs to perform Gandmool Puja. This puja is performed to seek the blessings of Lord Ganesha and the ruling deity of the particular Gandmool Nakshatra to neutralize any negative influences.
