Book a Rahu Ketu Shanti Puja (राहु केतु शांति पूजा) performed live for your family on a one-on-one video call. A pandit we work with recites the sankalp with your names and gotra and guides each step, while your family makes the offerings at your own altar at home, anywhere in the world.
01What the Rahu Ketu Shanti Puja is, and when families hold it
Rahu and Ketu are the shadow grahas, the Moon's nodes. The shanti puja worships both, traditionally in their dashas or when they afflict the Moon, the Sun or the lagna.
It is a home rite; the pilgrimage version at Trimbakeshwar or Ujjain is different.
02What the Rahu Ketu Shanti Puja is traditionally done for
- Traditionally done in Rahu's or Ketu's mahadasha.
- Traditionally done when the nodes afflict the Moon or the lagna.
- Traditionally done for clarity in a confused time.
When: on Saturdays, in Rahu's or Ketu's dasha.
03Count, duration, and what is included
Rahu and Ketu mantras 1,008 times each (Basic), 5,000 each with a havan (Advance), 18,000 and 17,000 (the classical counts) with a havan (Premium) and the same with a Rudrabhishek, tarpan and marjan (Super Premium). Typical durations are listed in each package below; the price, the date, the time and how long the puja takes are confirmed with you on WhatsApp when you book.
Included in every package:
- Either a live call or a video recording of the puja if you cannot attend, never both
- All samagri, arranged by the pandit at no extra charge
- Sankalp in your family's names and gotra
- Date and muhurat worked out for your city

04How the Rahu Ketu Shanti Puja works by video call
The Rahu Ketu Shanti Puja is performed live by an experienced pandit we work with, on a one-on-one video call with your family. You stay at home, anywhere in the world, and do the offerings with your own hands while the pandit leads. The steps:
- Book on WhatsApp: Message us on WhatsApp with the puja you want, your city and country, and your time zone. The button on this page fills in the puja and your time zone for you; you add your city.
- Choose the date and muhurat: We suggest dates and times in your own local time. Where the puja calls for a muhurat (an auspicious window), it is worked out from the panchang for the city you are in, not for India.
- Samagri arranged for you: The pandit arranges all the samagri for the puja, at no extra charge; you only need a clean, quiet place at home to sit for the call.
- Join the video call: At the agreed time you join a one-on-one video call with the pandit from your home altar, on WhatsApp video or Google Meet, whichever your family prefers. It is your family's call alone.
- Sankalp with your names and gotra: The pandit begins with the sankalp: the formal statement of the place, the date, the names of the family members, your gotra and the intention of the puja.
- The puja: The pandit recites the mantras and guides each offering step by step, so that the hands placing the flowers, the water and the lamp are your own.
- Aarti: The puja closes with aarti: you wave the lamp at your altar while the pandit sings, and the whole family can join in.
- Prasad guidance: The pandit tells you how to offer and share the prasad, and what to do afterwards with the flowers, the kalash water and the other offerings.
On the call the pandit performs the Ganesh, Navagraha, Rahu and Ketu puja, offers both mantras, and explains the daan.
05Who it suits
Families in Rahu's or Ketu's dasha, or whose kundli shows them afflicting key points.
06Timing and muhurat
On a Saturday, in a muhurat for your city. The date is worked out for your city; see the Muhurta Finder.
07Booking, payment and rescheduling
All bookings are made on WhatsApp. You pay on WhatsApp by UPI (in India), PayPal, USDT or card-to-USDT; nothing is paid on this website. Payments are not refundable, but you can reschedule up to two times if you tell us at least 48 hours before the puja (see our refund policy).
The call is on WhatsApp video or Google Meet, whichever your family prefers. The pandit performs the puja in Sanskrit and speaks Hindi; a team member who speaks English joins the live call to help families who prefer English.
If your family cannot attend live, the pandit performs the puja for you and we send you a video of it instead. It is either a live call or a video recording, never both: a live call is not recorded. The price, the date, the time and how long the puja takes are confirmed with you on WhatsApp when you book.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this Kaal Sarp puja?
- No. Kaal Sarp is for a specific pattern in the kundli; this is the shanti for Rahu and Ketu themselves.
- What if we cannot attend live?
- The pandit performs the puja for you and we send a video of it instead; it is one or the other, not both.
- How do I book the Rahu Ketu Shanti Puja by video call, and how do I pay?
- Tap "Book on WhatsApp" and send the message with your city and time zone. We agree the date, the time and the details with you there. You pay on WhatsApp by UPI (in India), PayPal, USDT or card-to-USDT; nothing is paid on this website.
- What if we need to change the date?
- You can reschedule up to two times if you tell us at least 48 hours before the puja. Payments are not refundable; the refund policy page has the full terms.
