Pitra Dosha Checker

Pitṛ Doṣa is a classical configuration that indicates karmic patterns involving the paternal ancestral line. It is read primarily from the Sun’s relationship to specific houses and from afflictions to the 9th house (the house of father, dharma, and lineage). The classical remedies are dāna and tarpaṇa — charitable giving and ritual offerings to ancestors.

What This Reading Tells You

• •Whether Pitṛ Doṣa indicators are present in your chart, with the specific classical markers identified.
• •The houses and planetary configurations involved.
• •Traditional remedial postures — dāna, śrāddha during Pitṛ Pakṣa, ancestral acknowledgment practices.
• •A measured reading that distinguishes the classical core from later folk elaborations.

Classical Tradition

Pitṛ Doṣa is treated in Phaladīpikā, BPHS, and the modern remedies compendia. The classical view is that ancestral patterns (karma, unfulfilled obligations of past generations) sometimes show up as configurations in the descendant’s chart — and that these are best addressed through dharmic action toward the ancestral line, not through expensive ritual.

How We Compute It

We check the classical markers — Sun afflicted in specific houses, the 9th lord in compromised placements, Rāhu or Saturn aspecting key paternal-line significators, and so on. The output identifies which markers are present and assesses overall pattern strength.
