Check if Kaal Sarp is full, partial or absent.
Enter your birth date, time and place. Pick your city from the list.
The tool checks all seven planets against the Rahu–Ketu line.
See full, partial or absent. Partial is not a full Kaal Sarp.
Rahu's house gives one of twelve names when the pattern is present.
It means seven planets lie on one side of the Rahu–Ketu line. These are Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn. Rahu and Ketu are 180 degrees apart. Planet strength decides the pattern's effect.
Rahu's house gives the name. Houses 1–6: Anant, Kulika, Vasuki, Shankhpal, Padma and Mahapadma. Houses 7–12: Takshak, Karkotak, Shankhachuda, Ghatak, Vishdhar and Sheshnag. Each names a life area, not a fixed outcome.
Full means all seven planets lie strictly inside the Rahu–Ketu line. Partial means at least one crosses it or sits on an endpoint. Many practitioners, including K. N. Rao, do not count partial cases as true Kaal Sarp.
No. Many successful people have this pattern. The result depends on planet strength, houses, rising-sign strength and Rahu or Ketu periods.
No. Its twelve-name form is a twentieth-century rule associated with Bepin Behari and discussed by K. N. Rao. It is not a verse in BPHS, Phaladeepika or Saravali. BPHS is cited only for background on Rahu and Ketu.
The pattern must be full, with a Rahu or Ketu period active or near. Partial cases do not justify costly pujas. Traditional practices include Nag Panchami, Rahu–Ketu mantras, Sarpa Sukta and Maha Mrityunjaya. Pilgrimage pujas at Trimbakeshwar or Kalahasti are also used.
