About this pooja
Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja is the propitiation rite for the chart yoga in which all seven non-nodal planets are positioned between Rahu and Ketu. The dosha is treated in the Phaladeepika and the Lal Kitab, and the canonical countermeasure is the puja performed at Trimbakeshwar (Nashik) or at one of the other twelve Jyotirlinga kshetras. The puja can also be performed at home with a pandit qualified for the Naga Devata invocation.
Key insights
- The dosha has twelve named forms (Anant, Kulik, Vasuki, Shankhapal, Padma, Mahapadma, Takshak, Karkotak, Shankhachuda, Ghatak, Vishdhar, Sheshnag) depending on which house-axis Rahu-Ketu occupy. The rite must invoke the specific Naga corresponding to the form.
- The classical kshetra is Trimbakeshwar near Nashik. Home rites are accepted in classical practice but the kshetra rite is considered the canonical form.
- The rite is performed on a Panchami, a Nag Panchami day (Shravan Shukla Panchami), or a Naga-friendly nakshatra (Ashlesha, Mula).
- Silver Naga images, milk and kusha grass are the principal offerings. After the rite, the silver Naga is donated to a temple, not retained at home.

Benefits per dharma-shastra
Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja is the textbook countermeasure to the chart yoga of the same name. The Phaladeepika lists the dosha as a cause of delay in marriage, recurring quarrels in the family, financial leakage, fear of unseen forces and obstruction of progeny. The propitiation is held to reduce these effects to manageable levels rather than eliminate them; the dosha itself remains in the chart.
