Ketu Puja

Ketu Puja is performed to pacify the malefic effects of Ketu, a shadow planet in Vedic astrology that represents detachment, past-life karma, spirituality, sudden events, isolation, and liberation (moksha). Ketu is considered the tail of the serpent demon Swarbhanu and always works in conjunction with Rahu.

When Ketu is unfavorably placed in the birth chart or during Ketu Mahadasha / Antardasha, it may cause confusion, lack of direction, fear, losses, health issues, sudden obstacles, separation, and emotional instability. However, when balanced, Ketu grants deep wisdom, intuition, spiritual growth, and inner peace.

Ketu Puja helps neutralize negative karmic influences and brings clarity, protection, stability, and spiritual awareness through Vedic rituals and mantra chanting.
