Grahan Dosh is the chart condition in which the Sun or the Moon sits with Rahu or Ketu. It is read as an eclipse within the birth chart, and is addressed with Grahan Dosh Poojan together with Rudrabhishek.
Just as Rahu and Ketu affecting the Sun or Moon in the sky is called an eclipse, the Sun or Moon sitting with Rahu or Ketu in the birth chart is called Grahan Dosh. It is traditionally associated with confidence and steadiness of mind.
This page describes traditional astrological belief. Whether the condition applies, and how strongly, is determined by reading the chart.
The Sun with Rahu or Ketu is called Surya Grahan Dosh. Tradition associates it with the relationship with the father, with confidence, and with standing among others.
The Moon with Rahu or Ketu is called Chandra Grahan Dosh. It is associated with steadiness of mind, with sleep, and with the relationship with the mother.
Tradition associates it with unsettledness of mind, difficulty in deciding, fear without a cause, and work that comes together and falls apart repeatedly.
None of this is proof in itself. Having the chart read first is the sensible order, since the strength of the condition is held to depend on the degrees of the planets involved.
Grahan Dosh Poojan is performed together with Rudrabhishek and Maha Mrityunjaya Jaap. In Ujjain it is performed in the presence of Mahakaleshwar.
The period of an eclipse, and Amavasya, are considered especially fitting.
The pooja is performed with the sankalp taken in your name and gotra, so travelling to Ujjain is not necessary.
You can join by video call and watch the whole pooja live, and a full video recording is sent to you afterwards.
