Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran Puja is a powerful Vedic ritual performed to reduce the malefic effects of Kaal Sarp Dosha in one’s birth chart. This dosha occurs when all planets are positioned between Rahu and Ketu, creating imbalances that may lead to delays, struggles, instability, and recurring obstacles in life.
This sacred puja is traditionally dedicated to Lord Shiva, who is believed to neutralize the negative karmic influences associated with serpent energies and planetary afflictions.
