Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja in Ujjain
Kaal Sarp Dosh is read when all seven grahas fall between Rahu and Ketu in the birth chart. The Nivaran Puja is a Vedic shanti of the Naga devata, performed in Ujjain with a sankalp from your kundli.
Understanding Kaal Sarp Dosh
In jyotish, Rahu and Ketu are the head and tail of the serpent. When every other graha sits on one side of the Rahu–Ketu axis, the chart is said to carry Kaal Sarp Yoga.
Twelve forms are named after the house Rahu occupies — Anant, Kulik, Vasuki, Shankhpal, Padma, Mahapadma, Takshak, Karkotak, Shankhachud, Ghatak, Vishdhar and Sheshnag. A chart can also show it only in part, which is why the pandit first checks whether it is complete or partial.
Families usually book this puja when
- the kundli shows Kaal Sarp Yoga, complete or partial
- a Rahu or Ketu dasha is beginning
- their astrologer has suggested a Naga shanti
- they want to perform it on Nag Panchami or a suitable amavasya
Kaal Sarp Yoga is a placement in the chart, not a curse. Treat the puja as a traditional shanti, done with faith — not as a promise of a specific result.
How the puja is performed
- Ganesh puja and sankalp — the sankalp is taken in your name, gotra and birth details
- Kalash and Navgraha puja — the kalash is established and the nine grahas are invoked
- Rahu–Ketu puja and jaap — Rahu and Ketu are worshipped with their mantras
- Naga puja — the Naga devata is worshipped, traditionally with a naga–nagin pair
- Shiva abhishek — the Shivling is bathed with water, milk and panchamrit
- Havan, poornahuti and aarti — offerings into the sacred fire, followed by aarti and prasad
The exact order and mantras follow the vidhi for your kundli. The pandit explains the full sequence when you book.
Keep these ready when you call
- Full name and gotra of the person sitting for the puja
- Date, time and place of birth — or a photo of the kundli
- Whether you prefer Nag Panchami, an amavasya or the earliest suitable date
- Number of family members who will attend

Questions about Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja
How do I know which type is in my chart?
Share your birth details or kundli on the call. The pandit identifies the form by the house Rahu occupies and tells you whether the yoga is complete or partial before suggesting the puja.
Which day is suitable for Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja?
Nag Panchami, amavasya and Mondays are traditionally preferred, but the muhurat from your chart comes first. The pandit gives you the nearest suitable dates.
Is the naga–nagin pair part of the samagri?
The pandit lists the complete samagri for your vidhi when you book, including the naga–nagin pair if your puja calls for it.
Can it be done on the same visit as Mangal Dosh Puja?
If your chart needs both, the pandit can plan them for the same visit to Ujjain. Mention it on the call so both are planned together.
