About this puja

A Vedic puja to pacify Angarak Yog, formed when Mars and Rahu meet in a horoscope. Offered online or at a temple in Varanasi.

Angarak Dosh Puja is a Vedic ritual performed for Angarak Yog, which arises when Mangal (Mars) and Rahu come together in a horoscope. Vedic astrology links this dosha with anger, financial strain, strained relationships and delays in marriage or career. Devotees turn to this puja to ask for peace, protection and well-being. Priests also chant the Angarak Dosh Nivaran Mantra during the ritual. The puja opens with Gauri Ganesh Pujan, seeking the blessings of Lord Ganesha and Goddess Gauri. Sadopchar Pujan, Navagraha Pujan and Kalash Pujan follow, invoking the nine planetary deities. Angarak Yog Pujan is then done to pacify Mars and Rahu. Next come Kum Kum Archan, Durva Archan and Pushpa Archan, offered with devotion, along with a special Navagraha Mantra Jaap. A Vishesh Homam comes next, with offerings made into the sacred fire. The puja closes with Aarti. You may take part online or in person.
