Planetary Pujas — Vedic Puja Vidhi
Kal Sarp Dosha Puja
Kal Sarp Dosha Puja is a specialized Vedic remedial ritual performed when all seven planets in a horoscope are hemmed between Rahu and Ketu, forming the Kal Sarp Yoga. This dosha is believed to bring repeated delays, obstacles, financial setbacks, health issues, and unfulfilled desires despite hard work. The puja involves propitiating Rahu and Ketu along with Lord Shiva and Nag Devata, and is most powerfully performed at sacred sites like Trimbakeshwar, Ujjain, or Nashik during Panchami tithi.
