🪔 What is Pitru Dosha?
Pitru Dosha arises from unfulfilled ancestral karma or neglect of one's duties toward ancestors. In astrology, it is primarily identified through Sun conjunct Rahu or Ketu, Rahu/Ketu in the 9th house (house of father and ancestors), or an afflicted 9th house lord. Jupiter's aspect significantly reduces the dosha. Performing the prescribed remedies invites ancestral blessings and removes persistent life obstacles.
