In Vedic tradition, Rahu is regarded as a shadow planet (chhaya graha). It is believed that a strong Rahu influence in a horoscope, through Rahu Mahadasha, Kaal Sarp Dosh or similar afflictions, can bring confusion, delays and mental unrest. Devotees traditionally offer daan, abhishek and prayer at Rahu temples to seek peace.
At Rahu Mandir, Paithani, in the Pauri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand, this puja is performed in your name through RahuPuja.com. Black urad dal and black sesame (kale til) are offered as daan, followed by the abhishek of Rahu Indreshwar Mahadev. Both offerings are traditionally associated with Rahu.
