The rite at a glance

What it is

Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran is a ritual done when an astrologer reads all the planets of a birth chart as lying between Rahu and Ketu. It invokes Shiva and the Naga deities and closes with a homam.

Its blessings and purpose

Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran is performed to pacify Rahu and Ketu and ease the repeated setbacks that the chart is read to indicate.
Your own astrologer confirms how Kaal Sarp Dosh reads in your chart, and the priest then sets the day for the rite.
Shiva and the Naga deities are worshipped for protection and relief, in prayer that obstacles ease and life moves forward.

When it is done

Nag Panchami is the best-known occasion.
Otherwise the priest sets a day from the panchang and your chart.

This pass could not locate Trimbakeshwar's own devasthan-trust domain (as distinct from independently run pandit-booking sites) — the procedure and duration above come from a Trimbakeshwar-focused pilgrimage/pooja-booking reference, not the shrine's own official site. Flagged as the thinnest-sourced entry in this catalogue; no itemised samagri list is asserted here for that reason.
