Overview
Rahu Ketu Shanti Puja for families in Chowk
Rahu and Ketu are the lunar nodes, points in the sky rather than physical planets, and are known in Jyotish as chhaya grahas, or shadow planets. They are traditionally linked with ambition, desire and restlessness (Rahu) and detachment, introspection and spiritual inclination (Ketu). Because they always sit opposite each other, their shanti is often performed together.
Chowk is the old commercial heart of Varanasi, a dense network of lanes filled with wholesale markets, silk and sari shops, sweet shops and tall old houses. It lies in the old city between Godowlia and Maidagin, with the lanes towards Kashi Vishwanath close by.
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.

If yours is not here, ask it. A real person answers every message on WhatsApp.
Can a Pandit come to my home in Chowk for Rahu Ketu Shanti Puja?
Yes. Share your location in Chowk, your preferred date and your family's tradition on WhatsApp. We confirm a Pandit who can come to your home, apartment or venue in and around Chowk, Varanasi, along with timing and pricing before you book.
How far in advance should I book Rahu Ketu Shanti Puja in Chowk?
For popular muhurat dates and festival seasons, it helps to enquire a week or two ahead where possible. For other dates, shorter notice is often manageable, we confirm availability on WhatsApp.
How much does Rahu Ketu Shanti Puja cost in Varanasi?
The cost depends on the vidhi, the number of Pandits, samagri and travel within Varanasi. We share a clear quote on WhatsApp after understanding your requirements, before you confirm anything.
Is Rahu Ketu puja the same as Kaal Sarp Dosh puja?
They are related but different. Kaal Sarp Dosh puja addresses a specific placement of all planets between Rahu and Ketu, while Rahu Ketu shanti addresses Rahu and Ketu more generally.
Do I need my kundali for Rahu Ketu Shanti?
Not necessarily, the puja can be performed with your name and gotra. If you would like to know how Rahu and Ketu sit in your own chart, we recommend speaking with a qualified astrologer or booking a kundali consultation.
Is Rahu Ketu Puja the same as Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja?
They are related but different. Rahu Ketu Shanti focuses on the two grahas generally, while Kaal Sarp puja is performed for a specific planetary arrangement. The Pandit can advise which suits your situation.
