दोष निवारण दर्शन
Temples and remedial darshan traditionally associated with Kaal Sarp, Mangal, Pitra, Shani and Rahu-Ketu doshas — with honest guidance and a note to consult an astrologer first.
Trimbakeshwar (Nashik, Maharashtra) · Srikalahasti (Andhra Pradesh)
Said to arise when all planets fall between Rahu and Ketu in the birth chart, Kaal Sarp Dosh is traditionally addressed through Naga (serpent) puja and Rudrabhishek. Trimbakeshwar, a Jyotirlinga at the source of the Godavari, and Srikalahasti, the Rahu-Ketu kshetra, are the most renowned shrines for the Kaal Sarp Shanti puja and darshan.
Mangalnath (Ujjain, MP) · Mehandipur Balaji (Rajasthan)
Mangal (Mars) Dosh, or being 'Manglik', is associated with delays and discord in marriage. Mangalnath temple in Ujjain — regarded as the birthplace of Mars — is the classic centre for Bhaat Puja and Mangal Shanti. Many devotees also seek darshan at Mehandipur Balaji for related relief.
Gaya (Bihar) · Trimbakeshwar (Maharashtra)
Pitra Dosh relates to unfulfilled duties toward ancestors. The remedy is Shraddha and Pind Daan, performed most famously at Gaya (Vishnupad) — the foremost site for ancestral rites — and also at Trimbakeshwar on the Godavari. We help arrange the ritual, priest and darshan together.
Shani Shingnapur (Maharashtra) · Tirunallar (Tamil Nadu)
The seven-and-a-half-year transit of Saturn (Sade Sati) and Shani's aspect are eased through Shani puja and darshan. Shani Shingnapur, where Lord Shani is self-manifested and the village famously has no doors, and Tirunallar Saniswaran temple are the great Shani kshetras.
Srikalahasti (Andhra Pradesh)
Afflictions of the shadow planets Rahu and Ketu are traditionally pacified at Srikalahasti, the Vayu (air) Jyotirlinga-class kshetra renowned for the Rahu-Ketu Sarpa Dosha Nivarana puja performed at specific muhurtas.
