Planetary Pujas — Vedic Puja Vidhi
Budh Puja
Budh Puja is a Vedic planetary worship ritual performed to propitiate Mercury (Budh), the planet governing intellect, communication, business acumen, and analytical skills. Mercury is the karaka (significator) of speech, trade, and learning. When Mercury is debilitated or afflicted in the natal chart, it causes poor communication, indecisiveness, nervous disorders, and business losses. Regular Budh Puja strengthens Mercury's positive influence, sharpens the mind, and brings success in professions related to writing, finance, and trade.
