Sarpa Dosha / Serpent Dosha
Naga Dosha is the affliction said to follow harm done to serpents — knowingly or in past lives — or the neglect of naga worship in a family. It most often manifests as obstacles to marriage and childbirth. The classical remedy is Sarpa Samskara and naga worship, performed with special power at Srikalahasti, the Rahu-Ketu kshetra.

- •Long delays in marriage with no clear reason
- •Difficulty conceiving or repeated miscarriage
- •Recurring skin ailments or eye problems
- •Frequent dreams of snakes

Astrological Significance
Naga Dosha is read primarily from Rahu and Ketu — the serpent nodes — afflicting the 5th house (progeny) or the 7th house (marriage), and from their conjunction with the Moon or Venus. It marks an obstruction tied to the serpent powers that govern fertility and lineage.
