Rahu, or Dragon’s Head, is the Shadow Planet. It means that it does not have any existence. But if it is not placed positively in the birth chart, then it may lead to many negative impacts. These may include sudden financial losses and problems in marital life or relationships. However, to nullify its adverse effects, the Rahu Puja is beneficial. It can also be performed when the individual has been going through Rahu’s Dasha or Antar Dasha. Also, it is required to check its placement in the natal chart with the help of an experienced and skilled astrologer.

Rahu can lead to many problems, including confusion, dilemmas, obstructions, and challenges in various spheres of life. These include business, relationships, career, marriage, family, etc. It can also cause the existence of many “Doshas” in the birth chart. For example, in association with the other shadow planet, Ketu, it may lead to “Kaal Sarpa Dosha,” and if it sits with Guru in the birth chart, it forms the “Guru Chandal Yoga.” Thus, to reduce and remove the adverse effects of this shadow planet, you can get the Rahu Puja performed and make your life harmonious and balanced.

Follow These Rules to Benefit More from Rahu Puja

Perform the self-practice or meditate to refine your inner soul. On the Puja Day, in the morning, after taking a bath, light a Ghee lamp, and worship the deity to let them accept your prayers. If possible, observe the fast; and if it is not possible, then at least have the Sattvik meals and avoid onion, garlic, or any tamasic food. Seek blessings from the deity for a prosperous, harmonious, and fulfilling life.

Rahu Puja Vidhi and Rituals

Considering the Vedic Astrology, the Rahu Puja can be performed in a day, but the process can be completed in different stages. The most essential requirement is to chant Rahu mantras such as “ॐ रां राहवे नमः" or any other as per the requirement of the individual’s Horoscope. The experienced and the expert Pandit Ji takes the oath in the “Shubh Muhurta” before the idols and recites the Rahu Mantras along with his fellow priests, citing the individual’s name, their father’s name, and their Gotra.

The other details required are the individual’s wish or Sankalpa from this Puja, and any other additional information. The priest will take all the details and start worshiping, considering the individual’s Sankalp. They will perform Rahu Homam (Havan) with the Ghee, Honey, Sugar, Sandalwood powder, Sesame, Barley, and other Puja materials. At the end of the Puja, Pandit Ji will follow the process of “Sankalp Purti,” leading to the Puja completion.
