Add as a preferred source on Google

Kalsarpa Dosha or Kalsarpa Yog is found in some birth charts and considered to be mostly inauspicious. It is believed to be caused by one of the twelve types of snakes affecting the birth chart, as mentioned in the Hindu scriptures. However, it is not always considered to be inauspicious, and the effects might be negligible as well. But it becomes problematic when its presence brings a lot of negative effects with it.

Besides these signs and indications, an astrologer also can read the horoscope and tell whether an individual has its presence in the birth chart or not, by analysing the positioning of the stars.

Though there are many remedies for pacifying the negative effects of this dosha, visiting these popular temples is also believed to help. Offering prayers in these temples on a Nag Panchami day is considered more auspicious. Take a look at the list of the temples.
