What is Pitra Dosh?
In Vedic astrology, Pitra Dosh is considered one of the most significant ancestral karmic imbalances found in a person’s birth chart (kundli).
Pitra Dosh arise when the ancestors’ souls (Pitras) are not at peace it occurs due to unfulfilled duties, neglected rituals, or unresolved karma in past lives.It is seen often when the Sun, Rahu, Ketu, or the 9th house (the house of ancestors) are afflicted in the horoscope.
Because of this person experiences continuous obstacles, emotional distress and lack of progress despite hard work and good intentions in their life.
Spiritually it believed Pitra Dosh is a call from your ancestors, reminding you to honor them and balance your family’s karmic energy.

Why Pitra Dosh Occurs in Kundli
Pitra Dosh is when someone hasn’t settled the karmic connections with their ancestors. If Rahu, Ketu, or the Sun aren’t settled, it indicates a lack of attention to forefathers. The focus will be on attention to the subsequently shifted solar system to balance the focus in other countries. At best, it can be solved through the Pitra Dosh Nivaran Puja.
Why Trimbakeshwar is the Best Place for Pitra Dosh Puja
Nashik has the Trimbakeshwar temple, which is a sacred temple to Lord Shiva. It is the oldest temple in Nashik and holds the 12 Jyotirlingas in the country.

Divinity, old tradition, and the temple focus on Pitra Dosh Puja are the reasons Trimbakeshwar can make the Jyotirling. The is also the only place where Narayan Nagbali and Pitra Shanti rituals are in sync to remove the souls from the temple and its bondage.
