The planets are very powerful in nature and we all are under their influence. If these planets are weak or imbalanced they can make life miserable. In order to strengthen weak planets havan is performed. These Khadir sticks are offered during fire ceremony (Havan), to pacify the ill effects of Mangal or to strengthen the good effect of the planet.
