Lord Shiva, Naga Devata, Rahu and Ketu
A traditional shanti puja performed for Kaal Sarp Yog, with Rahu Ketu mantras, Naga worship and Shiva abhishek, commonly on Nag Panchami, Amavasya or Mondays.
Overview
Kaal Sarp Yog is a term used when all seven classical grahas fall on one side of the Rahu Ketu axis in a birth chart. It is described in several forms, such as Anant, Kulik, Vasuki and Shankhpal, depending on where Rahu and Ketu are placed.
Astrological views on Kaal Sarp differ. It is not described in some classical texts, and many astrologers consider it only in combination with other factors, or feel its influence depends greatly on the rest of the chart. Others give it considerable importance. We encourage you to discuss your own chart with a qualified astrologer or Pandit rather than relying on generic online readings, and to approach the puja as an act of devotion, not fear.
The shanti vidhi usually includes Ganesh puja, sankalp, Navagraha and Rahu Ketu worship, puja of a silver Naga Nagin pair, Rahu Ketu mantra jaap and Rudrabhishek or Mahamrityunjaya prayers to Lord Shiva. In Varanasi, the city of Shiva, many families find it meaningful to perform this puja on the ghats or at home with a local Pandit, following their own family tradition.
ब्रह्मा मुरारिस्त्रिपुरान्तकारी भानुः शशी भूमिसुतो बुधश्च।
गुरुश्च शुक्रः शनिराहुकेतवः सर्वे ग्रहाः शान्तिकरा भवन्तु॥
Brahmā murāris tripurāntakārī bhānuḥ śaśī bhūmisuto budhaś ca, guruś ca śukraḥ śani rāhu ketavaḥ sarve grahāḥ śāntikarā bhavantu.
Nagas hold a revered place in Hindu tradition, Lord Shiva wears Vasuki around his neck and Lord Vishnu rests on Sheshnag. Kaal Sarp shanti draws on this reverence, combining Naga worship with prayers to Shiva, the lord of Nagas, and to Rahu and Ketu.
Devotees associate this puja with inner peace, a sense of release from anxieties, and renewed confidence to move forward. Many families also perform it as an expression of respect for ancestral and Naga traditions, particularly around Nag Panchami.
These are traditional beliefs associated with the ritual. Pujas are acts of devotion and are not a substitute for medical, financial or professional advice.
