Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja at Trimbakeshwar

Kaal Sarp Dosh is an astrological condition in Vedic astrology where all seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) are placed between Rahu and Ketu in a birth chart, creating a “serpent-like” grip. This dosh is believed to cause challenges like financial instability, health issues, marital discord, career obstacles, and unexplained fears.

The Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran Puja at Trimbakeshwar, Nashik, Maharashtra, is a powerful Vedic ritual to neutralize these malefic effects, invoking Lord Shiva’s blessings at one of the 12 Jyotirlingas.

Why Trimbakeshwar?

• Spiritual Significance: Trimbakeshwar, located at the origin of the Godavari River, is the only place where this puja is believed to yield maximum efficacy due to its divine energy.

• Purpose: Mitigates the 12 types of Kaal Sarp Dosh (e.g., Anant, Kulik, Vasuki, Sheshnag) to bring prosperity, health, and harmony.

• Who Should Perform: Those with Kaal Sarp Dosh in their Kundali, facing symptoms like recurring failures, snake dreams, or persistent anxiety.

Puja Procedure

The puja is a 2–3-hour ritual (or full day for extensive versions) performed by Tamprapatra Brahmin pandits on an auspicious muhurat. Steps include:

6. Dispersion Ritual: Release of Naag-Naagin idols into the Godavari, symbolizing freedom from dosh.
