काल सर्प शान्ति होमम्

Kaal Sarpa Shanti Homa

Relief from the Kaal Sarpa Dosha · Naga Devata · Rahu-Ketu

The Kaal Sarpa Shanti Homa is performed to relieve the effects of the Kaal Sarpa Dosha — an astrological condition where all planets fall between Rahu and Ketu, often causing struggle, delay and obstacles.

Sacred Mantra

ॐ

“Om Naagaraajaaya Vidmahe · Om Raahave Namah · Om Ketave Namah”

What it feels like

For those who feel an unseen resistance — doors that won't quite open, delays without reason — this homa pacifies the serpent energies of Rahu and Ketu. Devotees often look back on the months that followed as the moment life finally began to move.
