Kaal Sarp Dosh is a term used in astrology to describe a combination of planets that can have negative effects on a persons life. It is believed to be a result of ones past deeds or karma. The dosh is formed when all the planets are situated between Rahu and Ketu in a persons horoscope. There are twelve types of Kaal Sarp Dosh, including Ananta, Kulika, Vasuki, Shankhapala, Padma, Mahapadma, Takshaka, Karkotaka, Shankhachur, Ghatak, Vishdhar, and Shesh Naag.

The presence of Kaal Sarp Dosh in a persons kundli may create hurdles and delays across different aspects of their life such as career, love, marriage, health, and more. The person may suffer from mental troubles, bad dreams, and problems related to children, health, home, family, and finances. However, there are remedies available to lessen the negative impact of Kaal Sarp Dosh, such as performing puja on Nag Panchami, chanting the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra, worshipping Lord Shiva and Vishnu, and visiting Lord Shivas temple regularly.
