Surya Graha Shanti Puja (Sun Planet)

About Puja

Surya Graha Shanti Puja is performed to strengthen the Sun’s influence in the horoscope and reduce its negative effects. The Sun represents soul, power, confidence, authority, health, and vitality. In Vedic astrology, Lord Surya is considered the source of life, energy, and illumination for the entire universe. When the Sun is weak or afflicted in the birth chart, it can lead to health problems, lack of self-confidence, career instability, financial issues, and strained relations with authority figures.

This puja helps balance the Sun’s energy and brings clarity, strength, and positive direction in life.
