About Balagraha Shanti
Balagraha Shanti is a specialised Vedic shanti performed to remove a specific dosha (affliction) and restore spiritual harmony in the family. A specialised shanti for child-protection from balagrahas (planetary children-afflictors), performed with Subramanya and Mrityunjaya japa. The ritual combines sankalpa, deity invocation, japa, and homa with carefully chosen samagri. Gopuja arranges experienced Vaidika pandits in Bangalore who perform Balagraha Shanti authentically and in the prescribed muhurta.
When to perform it
Performed when astrology, family circumstances, or a samskara indicates the dosha. Our jyotishis review your chart, identify the precise dosha, and select an auspicious muhurta from Panchang. Typically scheduled within 7–15 days of the initial consultation.
The South Indian procedure
South Indian tradition performs Balagraha Shanti with Ganapathi Puja, Punyahavachanam, Navagraha Shanti, the specific dosha-removing deity invocation, japa of the prescribed mantra, and homa with traditional samidha. Tarpana and Brahmana-dakshina conclude the ritual.
This is the form our pandits follow by default in Mandi Mohalla — Mysore families are overwhelmingly Kannada-tradition. Tell us if your family follows a different sampradaya and we will match a purohit accordingly.

Balagraha Shanti — common questions
How much advance booking is required for Balagraha Shanti?

Yes. Balagraha Shanti is regularly performed in apartments, villas, independent houses, and flats across Bangalore. The rituals are adapted to the available space, and our pandits handle smoke management for any homa component.
