🌑 A sacred New Year opportunity to receive blessings for mental peace and wise decisions through a Maha Puja and Rudrabhishek during Rahu Nakshatra Kaal

🛕 According to Hindu scriptures, Rahu and Ketu originated from the demon Swarbhanu. His head came to be known as Rahu, while his torso became Ketu. Scriptures state that when Rahu–Ketu dasha is active in a person’s horoscope, it can lead to repeated failures despite efforts, family disputes, addictive habits, financial stress, and difficulty in making clear decisions. In the first month of the New Year, the alignment of Rahu-ruled Ardra Nakshatra is considered highly auspicious for worshipping these grahas. At Rahu Paithani, the largest Rahu temple in Uttarakhand, a Rahu–Ketu Peeda Shanti Puja along with Shiv Rudrabhishek will be performed. It is believed that performing this ritual during the divine Nakshatra Kaal can bring blessings of mental peace and improved decision-making ability.

🛕 The Puranas regard Lord Shiva as the presiding deity of Rahu and Ketu, and it is believed that worshipping Him helps reduce the malefic effects of these grahas. When this worship is performed during Ardra Nakshatra, the results are considered many times more effective. Performing Shiv Rudrabhishek along with Rahu–Ketu Peeda Shanti Puja is considered highly beneficial, as Rudrabhishek is regarded as one of the most powerful and fruitful forms of Lord Shiva’s worship. During Rudrabhishek, Lord Shiva is bathed with water, milk, curd, honey, Gangajal, and ghee, while praying for the removal of sorrows, obstacles, and hardships.

🛕 According to scriptures, worshipping Lord Shiva can guide one towards relief from planetary doshas. Therefore, Rahu–Ketu Peeda Shanti Puja and Shiv Rudrabhishek will be organised at the Rahu Paithani Temple in Uttarakhand. This is one of the rare temples in the country where Rahu is worshipped along with Lord Shiva. It is believed that worship at this temple grants devotees the combined blessings of Rahu Dev and Lord Shiva. Hence, during the auspicious alignment of Ardra Nakshatra, this is a rare opportunity to perform Rahu–Ketu Peeda Shanti Puja and Shiv Rudrabhishek here - do not let it pass by.

To receive Lord Shiva’s blessings, reduce the adverse effects of Rahu and Ketu in your horoscope, and seek clarity in life, participate in this puja through Sri Mandir…

Rahu Paithani Temple, Pauri, Uttarakhand

Rahu Paithani Temple, Pauri, Uttarakhand
At this Rahu temple located in Uttarakhand, Rahu is worshipped along with Lord Shiva. This is one of the rare temples in the country where Rahu is worshipped together with Lord Shiva. It is believed that Rahu and Ketu are parts of the body of the asura Swarbhanu. According to a Puranic legend, during the Samudra Manthan, Swarbhanu deceitfully sat among the devas and consumed Amrit. When Lord Vishnu realised the deception, He severed Swarbhanu’s head from his body with the Sudarshan Chakra to prevent him from becoming fully immortal. However, since Swarbhanu had already consumed Amrit, he became immortal. The lower part of Swarbhanu’s body became Ketu, while the severed head became Rahu. It is believed that this severed head fell at this very place in Pauri, which later came to be known as the Rahu Temple.

It is believed that people visit this Rahu temple to seek relief from various doshas caused by Rahu. Specially, worship is performed here to overcome Kaal Sarp Dosh, Rahu–Ketu Dosh, and to gain relief from Rahu Mahadasha. Some texts mention that this temple was established by Adi Shankaracharya. Another legend states that the Pandavas constructed this temple during their Swargarohini journey. To protect themselves from Rahu dosha, the Pandavas worshipped Lord Shiva and Rahu at this very temple.
