Parihara Sthalam

Every Fridays 7am -12pm Pooja, 12pm Maha Mangalarathi And Annadhanam.

This powerful pooja is specifically conducted at parihara sthalam to reduce the harmful consequences of Rahu Ketu Dosha. It entails singing sacred mantras, praying, and executing rituals to gain the blessings of the deities.

Rahu Ketu Dosha Nivarana Pooja is a significant and traditional Hindu ritual performed at parihara sthalam to mitigate the malefic effects of Rahu and Ketu, two shadow planets or lunar nodes, in Vedic astrology. According to Hindu astrology, Rahu and Ketu are known as the North Node and South Node, respectively, and they are associated with karmic influences and the lunar eclipse.
