Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran Pooja is a ritual performed to mitigate the negative effects of Kaal Sarp Dosh, which occurs when all planets in a person's birth chart are positioned between the shadow planets Rahu and Ketu. This dosha is believed to bring challenges such as obstacles in life, health issues, and emotional turmoil. The pooja aims to appease Rahu and Ketu and restore harmony and balance in the individual's life.
