The Ritual and Its Weight
In Jyotisha, an eclipse is not only a sky event. When Chandra and Ketu occupy the same house in a birth chart, classical texts call it a grahan yoga — the Moon, karaka of mind, memory and emotional flow, standing in the smoky shadow of Ketu, the karaka of detachment and past-life residue. Astrologers read this placement as a chart that asks for shanti: the feelings run deep but diffuse, decisions circle back on themselves, and the inner light seems veiled at the very moment you need it clearest. The Chandra Ketu Grahan Dosha Homa is the fire rite prescribed for exactly this combination.
Dosha Nivarana works by offering, not by force. In the Chandra Ketu Grahan Dosha Homa the priests do not oppose Ketu — they honour him, feed him through Agni, and place a cooling, milk-white offering before Chandra so that the two graha are addressed together rather than set against each other. Grains, ghee, darbha, sesame and the mantras of both planets go into the fire in your name and gotra. Tradition holds that what the shadow has drawn away, the offered flame gives back in measure.
ॐ श्रां श्रीं श्रौं सः चन्द्रमसे नमः । ॐ स्रां स्रीं स्रौं सः केतवे नमः ॥ Salutations to Chandra, lord of the cool mind, and salutations to Ketu, lord of the shadow — may both be pleased and gracious toward me.What a Maha Homa is
Not every fire ritual is performed at the same scale. A Maha Homa is our largest form — more priests, a longer fire, and the complete chanting sequence the rite prescribes rather than an abridged one. This is what that means in practice.
A Maha Homa is never a group ceremony, the same as any homa we conduct. What the scale changes is the weight of the offering — ten trained voices holding one hymn for two hours is a different undertaking from one voice for an hour, and it is reserved for the intentions that warrant it.
Why Devotees Book This
This is a Dosha Nivarana rite. It is offered for the pacification of a specific chart combination — here is what the tradition prescribes it for.
Grahan dosha shanti
The core purpose: propitiating the Chandra-Ketu conjunction that astrologers identify as grahan dosha in your horoscope.
Steadiness of mind
Chandra rules manas. The rite is offered so the mind's light is invoked as clear and unclouded rather than veiled.
Ketu honoured, not resisted
Ketu's offerings are made with respect, so his detaching influence is asked to turn toward viveka instead of confusion.
Restoring planetary balance
Both graha receive their proper mantras, dravya and count, bringing the pair into equilibrium within the chart.
Support during eclipse periods and Ketu antardasha
Traditionally undertaken when transits, eclipses or a Ketu period activate the natal combination.
Before new beginnings
Many devotees book the homa ahead of a marriage, relocation, treatment or venture, so the dosha is addressed first.

The most auspicious days for a Chandra Ketu Grahan Dosha Homa
Our panchanga scholars fix your muhurat and inform you before the homa. These are the windows tradition favours for the Chandra Ketu Grahan Dosha Homa.
The days around a solar or lunar eclipse, and Amavasya itself, are classically held as the strongest for grahan dosha shanti.
Somavara for Chandra; Ashwini, Magha and Mula — the nakshatras of Ketu — for addressing the shadow graha.
Chandra's own nakshatras combined with a Ketu hora let both planets be invoked in one strong window.
At the start of a Ketu mahadasha or antardasha, or during a Ketu transit over the natal Moon.
You do not need to wait for one of these days. Whenever you book, our astrologers calculate the muhurta from your own birth chart — a date chosen for you personally, which tradition regards as more precise than a calendar date chosen for everyone. If you would like the homa on one of the days above, tell us at checkout and we will fix the muhurta within it.
What you receive
The sealing of the Chandra-Ketu Yantra
The Chandra-Ketu Yantra is consecrated over three days — Jala (holy-water consecration with mantras), Prana (life force through pranayama & chants) and Jeeva Pratishta (awakened with 108 recitations & offerings) — then present through your homa, receiving the energies raised in the fire. When your homa concludes, it is rolled and locked inside its silver amulet according to Agama vidhi — the practice by which those energies are held within a consecrated object rather than dispersing. It is why a homa performed at our ashram can still reach a devotee ten thousand miles away: what the fire raised travels to you, sealed.
This is what arrives at your door, at no extra cost, with your prasadam.
Personal sankalpa
Your name, gotra & nakshatra — and up to four family members if you wish. No one else is named.

How to wear your energised Chandra-Ketu Yantra
Your auspicious time to wear it
Wear it for the first time on a Monday, between 6.30 and 7.30 in the morning. Bathe first, place the yantra on your pooja altar and offer your prayers, then wear it around your neck or your waist, on a red or black thread or a silver chain.
At a funeral
Take the yantra off before you attend a funeral.
Purify the amulet
Whenever the yantra has been taken off, or if it was worn at a funeral, dip it in raw milk or Ganga jal, show it incense, dhoop or attar (perfume), and then wear it again.
Keep the energy intact
You may repeat this energising once a week or once a month.
How your Chandra Ketu Grahan Dosha Homa is performed
Sankalpa
The priest states your name, gotra and nakshatra — and those of up to four family members — with the intention this homa is performed for.
Ganapati Puja
The customary invocation to Ganapati, clearing obstacles before the deity is approached.
Agni Pratishtha
The fire is consecrated in the homa kunda and Agni invoked as the carrier of every offering that follows.
Chandra and Ketu Avahana
The mula mantras of Chandra and Ketu are chanted, inviting the deity's presence into the fire — by five or ten priests as your scale sets.
Ahuti
Ghee and akshata, with the flowers, grains and dravyas proper to this deity, are offered in sequence with mantra. Each priest makes 216 of these offerings with the mula mantras of Chandra and Ketu — 1,080 or 2,160 in all, by package.
Purnahuti
The final complete offering seals the sankalpa stated at the opening.
Aarti & Dispatch
Aarti is performed live on your telecast. Vibhuti, sandalwood powder, kumkum and your energised Chandra-Ketu Yantra are then packed and shipped free to your door.
Chandra and Ketu
Two graha are addressed here together. Chandra is the Moon lord, white as camphor, seated in a chariot drawn by antelopes, holding a mace and a lotus, wearing the crescent that marks him. Jyotisha gives him the mind, memory, mother, water and the tides of feeling; he waxes and wanes, and moods follow. Ketu is the descending lunar node, the headless remainder of the eclipse serpent, shown as a smoky flag-bearing form with a serpent's tail, riding a vulture. He rules detachment, hidden knowledge, past-life residue and whatever the seeker is asked to release. Devotees turn to this pair when the inner light feels veiled — approaching Ketu with respect rather than resistance, and Chandra with cooling, milk-white offerings.
In this homa that grace is invoked through fire, with your own name and birth details spoken in the sankalpa.
