Which Fruit Should You Donate to Reduce Each Planetary Dosha? Navagraha Remedies Explained

Donating food and other useful items has a special place in Hindu traditions. The month of Kartika is considered particularly auspicious for charity, and many devotees believe that donations made during this period bring spiritual benefits. Traditional astrology also associates certain fruits with the nine planets and recommends donating them to seek planetary blessings. The Brihannardeeyam mentions specific fruits for each planet, along with the days on which they should be offered.

For the Sun, citron (dabbapandu) is recommended on Sunday, while bananas are suggested for the Moon on Monday. Pomegranates are associated with Mars and should be donated on Tuesday, while mangoes are recommended for Mercury on Wednesday. Jackfruit is suggested for Jupiter on Thursday, dates for Venus on Friday and jamun fruits for Saturn on Saturday. Coconut is traditionally offered for Rahu, while a large citron fruit is recommended for Ketu on Tuesday. These offerings are believed to help reduce planetary doshas and bring favourable results.
