Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja in Ujjain: Cost, Process & Best Temples
Ujjain is among the three holiest cities (with Trimbakeshwar and Haridwar) for Kaal Sarp Dosh nivaran. Here's how it works.
What is Kaal Sarp Dosh?
When all 7 planets in your birth chart fall between Rahu and Ketu, the chart is said to carry Kaal Sarp Dosh — linked to obstacles, delays in marriage, financial loss, and recurring health issues.
Why Ujjain?
Mahakal is the lord of time (Kaal). A nivaran puja done at the feet of Mahakal, combined with Nag-Naagin visarjan in the Shipra, is considered the most potent remedy short of Trimbakeshwar.
Process & timing
The puja takes 3–4 hours: sankalp, Ganesh puja, Navgrah puja, Rudrabhishek, Rahu-Ketu shanti, silver Nag-Naagin daan, and Shipra visarjan. Best done on Panchami, Nag Panchami, or Amavasya.
Cost (2026)
Through registered pandits: ₹5,500 – ₹15,000 depending on samagri and number of pandits. Beware of touts at the ghats quoting ₹50,000+. We coordinate verified Brahmins from the temple's panel.
