Frequently asked questions
What causes Pitra dosh?
Traditionally it is linked to unfulfilled obligations towards ancestors. In the chart it is read from afflictions to the Sun and the 9th house, or specific Rahu placements.
Can Pitra dosh delay marriage or children?
It is often cited for such delays, but many other factors can cause the same thing. A chart reading distinguishes between them rather than assuming.
What remedies are prescribed?
Ancestral rites such as shraddha and tarpan, charity, and feeding others are the traditional observances. Your astrologer will advise what suits your chart and circumstances.
