A traditional puja performed at designated ghat locations by pandits experienced in this ritual, with the full samagri list shared beforehand.
Quick answer: Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja in Varanasi is performed with a pandit at a designated ghat and takes about 2 to 3 hours. The traditional belief is that it eases the effects of this astrological condition. We share the samagri list beforehand and confirm the pandit and total cost before you pay.
In Vedic astrology, Kaal Sarp Dosh is said to arise when the planets in a birth chart fall between Rahu and Ketu. Many families perform a puja for it, and Varanasi, on the Ganga, is a place where such rituals are traditionally carried out. We connect you with pandits who perform this ritual regularly and explain it plainly.
The pandit begins with a sankalp and the worship of Ganesha and the nine planets. Rahu and Ketu are then worshipped with specific mantras, offerings are made to a silver or copper image of a serpent, and the puja concludes with a havan and the immersion of the offerings in the river. Details depend on the pandit's tradition.
Astrological beliefs are a matter of faith and tradition. A puja is a spiritual practice and should not replace medical, legal or financial decisions. Be wary of anyone who creates fear to sell expensive rituals, and ask for the cost and scope in writing.
