Navagraha
The term "Navagraha" refers to the nine celestial bodies in Hindu astrology that are believed to influence human life and events. These nine entities include the Sun Surya, Moon Chandra, Mars Mangala, Mercury Budha, Jupiter Brihaspati, Venus Shukra, Saturn Shani, and the two lunar nodes, Rahu and Ketu. Each of these planets is associated with specific traits, characteristics, and effects on individuals based on their positions in the zodiac.
In Hindu culture, the Navagraha are often worshipped to seek blessings for health, prosperity, and success. Temples dedicated to the Navagraha can be found across India, where rituals and offerings are made to appease these celestial bodies. The belief is that by honoring the Navagraha, individuals can mitigate negative influences and enhance positive outcomes in their lives.
