Nine grahas govern the sky. For eleven days we answer each of them with fire, mantra and offering — on behalf of everyone who registers, at no cost to attend.

See the eleven days

Nine bodies. One sky.

Keep scrolling — they are still falling into place.

The lights go out.

What is left is the Milky Way, and nine wanderers moving against it.

They come into line.

Surya to Ketu, in the order every Navagraha shrine has held them for a thousand years.

And the line becomes an altar.

Find your graha

Which one is troubling you?

Tap a graha on the wheel. It tells you what that period usually feels like, and which of the eleven days is set aside to answer it.

Find your day

Tell us your birth star.

Your nakshatra has a ruling graha, and one of the eleven fires is set aside for it. Pick your star and we will point you at the right day.

Pick a nakshatra on the left. If you are not sure of yours, the office can look it up from your date and place of birth.

The eleven fires

Each day answers a different need.

Pick a day to see what is offered, who it is for, when the fire is lit — and how many sankalpam seats are still open.
