Who Are Rahu and Ketu?
In Vedic astrology, Rahu and Ketu are known as shadow planets or chhaya graha. They do not have a physical body like other planets, but their influence on human life is profound.
Rahu is associated with obsession, desires, worldly pleasures, confusion, foreign travels, and sudden gains or losses.
Ketu represents detachment, spiritual awakening, liberation, and hidden fears. It is linked to past karma and spiritual progress.
These two planets are always in opposite directions in a birth chart and are considered responsible for karmic patterns and transformations.
✅ Why Is Rahu Ketu Puja Important?
Performing Rahu Ketu Puja helps reduce the malefic effects of these shadow planets. Their negative influences can create challenges in career, relationships, mental health, and finances. Worshipping Rahu and Ketu brings balance, clarity, and spiritual strength.
You should especially perform this puja during:

During transit periods affecting your birth chart
