Ketu Puja
Ketu Puja is performed to pacify Ketu — the headless shadow planet associated with moksha, past lives, detachment, and spiritual awakening. Ketu causes psychic disturbances, losses, and mysterious health issues when malefic. The puja involves worshipping Lord Ganesha (Ketu's ruling deity), offering multicolored or patchwork cloth, and chanting the Ketu beej mantra to transform Ketu's energy into spiritual gifts.
