About Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran Puja

This planetary configuration, known as Kaal Sarp Yoga, can cause significant challenges in career, relationships, health, and finances. The puja involves specific mantras and rituals to appease both Rahu and Ketu, neutralize the dosh, and restore balance to the horoscope.

Puja Process
Ganesh Puja, Nag Puja, Rahu-Ketu Shanti, Kaal Sarp mantra jaap (12,500 times), Havan, and Sarpa Visarjan
Best Time to Perform
Nag Panchami, Amavasya, or during Rahu Kaal
Panchami (Nag Panchami) — the 5th tithi of the Shukla paksha of Shravan
Nag Panchami falls in Shravan, the month of the monsoon, which is also when snakes are driven out of flooded ground and into the open — the observance and the season are not a coincidence.
Why that vara
Rahu and Ketu rule no weekday at all, because a vara is named for the graha owning the day's first hora and the nodes have no body and therefore no hora. That is why the nodes are approached through an interval instead — Rahu Kaal, the eighth part of the day, which moves by weekday.
Not begun in Rahu Kaal, and a full muhurat for your date and city has to satisfy the nakshatra, yoga and karana too.
The Graha Behind Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran Puja
Graha
Rahu (Rahu, राहु)
Vara
Saturday
Deity
Durga, and Bhairava
Mantra
Om Raam Rahave Namah
Graha Shanti japa
18,000 repetitions
Governs
Desires, illusions, foreign lands, sudden gains
The japa count is fixed rather than arbitrary: 18,000 for Rahu, between 7,000 for the Sun and 23,000 for Saturn. Larger figures are a purascharana — japa, then homa at a tenth of it, then tarpana at a tenth of that.
Rahu in Vedic astrology →Items Required (Samagri)
Silver Nag (snake)
A cast silver serpent, worshipped and then given away or immersed. Rahu is the head of the severed serpent and Ketu the tail, so the image is of the axis rather than of a planet.
Black sesame seeds
Til is the offering for Saturn and the nodes alike. It is used in the tarpana that follows the japa, where the count is a tenth of the mantra count.
Blue flowers
Rahu's colour is smoke-blue and its cloth, flowers and lamp all follow it, the same way each graha's offerings match it in the navagraha scheme.
Nag image
The serpent pair is installed for the duration of the rite. Trimbakeshwar and Rameswaram are the two temples most associated with performing this at scale.
Sarpa Yantra
The plate the mantras are directed at once the japa begins, standing in for a murti the nodes do not have.
Samagri is supplied with the booking. Substitutions are normal and regional; the item a rite is defined by is the one that is never substituted.
Worth being clear about
Kaal Sarp Yoga requires all seven grahas from the Sun to Saturn to lie inside the Rahu–Ketu arc, and it is frequently reported by online tools that have got the ayanamsa or the node positions wrong. It is worth having the chart checked before commissioning a puja for it, because the false-positive rate is high.
