In Vedic Astrology, Kaal Sarp Dosh occurs when all seven primary planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn) are trapped between the shadow planets Rahu (head of the serpent) and Ketu (tail of the serpent) in a horoscope. Ujjain—being the sacred abode of Lord Mahakal (the Master of Time) and the holy Shipra River—is considered one of the most auspicious spiritual destinations in India to perform the Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran Pooja for permanent relief.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Ujjain considered ideal for Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran Pooja?

Men are required to wear traditional attire such as a Dhoti-Kurta, and women should wear a Saree or Suit. Black or leather items are strictly avoided during the ritual.
