Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja in Ujjain
Performed by the pandit ji of Mangal Nath Mandir on the bank of the Kshipra, in your own name and gotra, following the vidhi for the particular type of Kaal Sarp yog present in the kundli.
What Kaal Sarp yog means
In jyotish, Kaal Sarp yog — also called Kaal Sarp dosh — is said to form when every graha of the kundli falls on one side, between Rahu and Ketu. Rahu and Ketu are the chhaya grahas, the shadow points, and when the remaining grahas are enclosed between them the tradition reads the kundli as carrying this yog.
Its effect is not read uniformly. Which houses Rahu and Ketu occupy determines the type of Kaal Sarp yog and the area of life the tradition associates it with, and the strength of the other grahas modifies the reading considerably. For this reason the kundli is examined by an experienced jyotishi before any anushthan is settled on.
काल सर्प दोष क्या है
ज्योतिष में काल सर्प दोष उस स्थिति को कहा जाता है जब कुंडली के समस्त ग्रह राहु और केतु के मध्य आ जाते हैं। राहु एवं केतु छाया ग्रह माने गए हैं, और जब शेष ग्रह इनके बीच स्थित हों तब परंपरा में इसे काल सर्प योग कहा जाता है।
इसका प्रभाव एक समान नहीं माना जाता। राहु और केतु किन भावों में स्थित हैं, इसी आधार पर काल सर्प दोष का प्रकार निर्धारित होता है। उज्जैन में क्षिप्रा तट पर यह अनुष्ठान कराने की परंपरा प्राचीन है, क्योंकि यहाँ स्नान एवं तर्पण की विधि सहज रूप से संपन्न हो जाती है।
The twelve types of Kaal Sarp yog
Twelve types are traditionally counted, according to the position of Rahu and Ketu in the kundli:

The anushthan generally runs between two and three hours, within the temple’s puja window of 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM.
