Ujjain Chandra Grahan Dosh Puja

About this puja

A moon-focused puja at Ramghat, Ujjain, for Chandra Grahan Dosh in the birth chart.

Chandra Grahan Dosh Puja is performed in Ujjain to ease the effects of Chandra Grahan. It involves mantras and hymns to the Moon. The dosh is also taken to apply to anyone born on the day of a Grahan. Those affected are said to struggle with low confidence, shifting emotions, strained relationships and fear. In Vedic astrology the dosh arises where Rahu or Ketu troubles the Moon in the birth chart, which may disturb mental peace and bring financial troubles. The puja is held at the sacred Ramghat in Ujjain, a place linked with Lord Shiva. Ujjain is home to the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga, believed to strengthen Navgraha rituals. A pujari who knows the proper Vedic procedure should perform it.
