The Homam is performed with nine varieties of flowers, nine cereals(Nava Dhanya), nine vastrams(fabric of different colours), and nine types of Naivedyams. For the Homam nine types of Chamatas (samithths)are also used. This homam has the power to counter flaws in the horoscope and enable a person to prosper in life in case astrological defects are the main blocks to well-being.
