Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran Puja
A Rahu-Ketu and Naga-focused shanti puja for devotees whose astrologer identifies Kaal Sarp Yoga in the birth chart, performed with sankalp, graha worship, mantra-japa, havan and Shiva-related rites.
Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran is best treated as a kundli-confirmed remedial puja, not something diagnosed from dreams or a run of bad luck. Trimbakeshwar is one of the best-known locations for this ritual; public Trimbakeshwar sources commonly describe a three to four hour ceremony involving Rahu-Ketu and Naga worship, serpent symbols or idols, havan and associated Shiva worship. Local paddhati varies between priests, so the package you book states exactly what will be performed rather than promising one universal sequence. Choose this service if an astrologer has identified Kaal Sarp Yoga in your chart and you want a traditional remedy performed properly.
