What is Kuja-Rahu Sandhi Shanti Homa?
Kuja Rahu Sandhi Shanti Homa is a specialized ritual in Vedic astrology and Hindu tradition, aimed at neutralizing the malefic effects of the Graha Sandhi Dosha when Mars (Kuja) and Rahu are in conjunction or transition (Sandhi) in an individual’s horoscope.
What is Graha Sandhi?
Graha Sandhi in Vedic Astrology refers to the transition or junction of planets when they shift from one sign or house to another or come into a close conjunction with each other. Graha Sandhi can sometimes result in unfavorable outcomes, particularly if the planets involved are malefic.
Mangal Graha (Kuja) and Rahu together create a volatile combination because both planets carry intense, aggressive energies that can be disruptive.
Mangal or Mars
Mangal, Mars or Kuja known as a warrior planet, signifies aggression, drive, energy, and courage. Mangal Graha rules over blood, muscles, and vitality.
When Kuja (Planet Mars) is positioned in 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house in the Janma Kundali (horoscope), it is referred to as Kuja Dosha or Manglik Dosh. Kuja dosha affects married life, emotional issues, financial losses and other health related issues.
Rahu or Dragon’s Head
Rahu known as a shadow planet, is associated with illusions, deception, sudden change, confusion, and materialism. Rahu lacks a physical form, and its presence in a conjunction intensifies aspects of the planet it aligns with.

When Mars and Rahu come together, it can lead to heightened anger, impulsive actions, and conflicts. This combination, if placed unfavorably in the birth chart, can result in increased accidents, arguments, losses, or health issues. Kuja Rahu Sandhi Dosha may also cause mental distress and material obstacles, affecting family and professional life.
