Planetary Pujas — Vedic Puja Vidhi
Rahu Puja
Rahu Puja is performed to mitigate the malefic effects of Rahu — the shadow planet associated with sudden changes, obsessions, foreign connections, and spiritual confusion. It is recommended during Rahu Mahadasha, Antardasha, or when Rahu is placed in the 1st, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of the natal chart. The puja involves offerings of blue flowers, coconut, and Durga worship since Devi is Rahu's ruling deity.
