Rahu Ketu Shanti is the traditional worship of the two shadow planets with mantra jaap, Shiv abhishek and havan. Performed by Pandit Mohit Tiwari Ji in Ujjain, it is offered by devotees seeking steadiness, clarity of mind and peace during a Rahu or Ketu period.
Significance
Rahu and Ketu are the two shadow planets, the lunar nodes of Vedic astrology. Rahu is linked with desire, restlessness and illusion, and Ketu with detachment and the inward search. In their periods, some people feel unsettled or confused, while others find new directions in life.
Tradition suggests Shiv worship and the beej mantras ॐ भ्रां भ्रीं भ्रौं सः राहवे नमः and ॐ स्रां स्रीं स्रौं सः केतवे नमः, along with charity. Traditional jaap counts are often given as 18,000 for Rahu and 7,000 for Ketu, or multiples, and Guruji will confirm the counts for your package.
Ujjain is the city of Mahakal, and the Skanda Purana's Avanti Khand speaks of Avantika as a sacred city. This shanti is a devotional offering and no result is promised.

Questions about this pujan
How is this different from Kalsarp pujan?
Kalsarp pujan is for the specific yoga when all planets lie between Rahu and Ketu. Rahu Ketu Shanti is for a troubled Rahu or Ketu, or their dasha, whether or not Kalsarp yoga is present.
Can I choose only Rahu or only Ketu?
Yes. Guruji can focus on one of them if your chart suggests it. Mention this in the booking form.
Will I receive a recording?
Yes, in the online and live options we share photos and video after the pujan.
