Chandal Dosha Puja

Chandal Dosha, often feared in Vedic astrology, forms when Jupiter (Guru) is in conjunction with Rahu or Ketu. This dosha is believed to impact wisdom, education, reputation, and spiritual path. But with proper understanding and remedies, especially the powerful Chandal Dosha Puja, one can overcome its malefic effects.

🕉️ What is Chandal Dosha?

Chandal Dosha, also known as Guru Chandal Yog, occurs when Jupiter (Guru) is conjunct with Rahu or Ketu in the same house of your birth chart. Jupiter represents knowledge, dharma, and moral values, while Rahu or Ketu represents illusion, detachment, and sudden transformation. Their combination can distort one’s wisdom and judgment, leading to wrong decisions and unethical tendencies if left unchecked.
