Overview
Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja for families in Dashashwamedh Ghat
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.
Dashashwamedh Ghat is one of the best-known ghats in Varanasi and is widely associated with the grand evening Ganga Aarti. Its name is traditionally linked to a legend of Lord Brahma performing the Dashashwamedh yagna here.
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.
Planning your puja in Dashashwamedh Ghat
Vehicles usually cannot reach the ghat; expect to walk the last stretch through busy lanes from Godowlia.
The evening aarti draws very large crowds, arrive early if you want to watch from the steps or a boat.
Dev Deepawali, Sawan and major festival days bring exceptional crowds and traffic restrictions, so plan extra time.
Early mornings are quieter and better suited for snan or riverside sankalp.
Keep valuables secure and agree boat arrangements clearly before setting out.
Share your birth details so the Pandit can understand the recommendation.
Book early for Nag Panchami or Sawan dates.
