    • Dear Devendrra Tare,

      After Rahu Ketu Pooja it is good to leave home, One shouldn’t visit any Temple on the same day after Rahu Ketu Pooja.
      Next day after taking bath you can visit other temples but not on the same day.

      Rahu Ketu Pooja should be done after Balaji Darshan for good benefits.

      Please let me know if further details required.

      Thanks,

  2. Dear Sir,

    My name is Kumar D. My DOB: 30/10/1988 Timings : between 3pm to 4pm. Someone told me that I have to perform rahu ketu puja in srikalahasthi. I want to perform in June second week with my parents. Kindly suggest me which date is better for me and for three members shall I want to buy three tickets or Rs.750 tickets is enough to us?
    As I am living in Bangalore is there any website or branches in Bangalore so I can book my ticket in advance. Kindly guide me. Thanks in Advance.

    Regards
    Kumar D

    • Dear Kumar,
      b
      It is good to perform Pooja even if there is no Dosha as well. Good time for Pooja is either on Sunday between 4:30 pm – 6 p.m or Tuesday between 3 pm – 4:30 pm. Online booking is not available, you can directly visit temple for this Pooja. No, one ticket is enough. As it is only you who will be participating in Pooja, your parents can accompany you. Rs. 750 ticket is enough for 3 members.
      Sunday or Tuesday are the best days for Pooja and that too for good benefits it should be performed during Rahu Kalam Timings.

      So be there at Temple at 30 mins ahead so that you can start Pooja on Time. It is 3 slots during Rahu Kalam, even if you miss the first slot you are still good to join 2nd or 3rd slot.

      Please let me know if further clarification required.

      Thanks,

            Thanks, thanks, thanks a ton for your support and reply. Now i am planning to perform the puja in next tuesday that is on 16th of june.
            1). As u told me that after compliton of puja i should go back to home directly so i plan to take train or flight in imidiate next morning and will spend d night time in station or airport as i am going from kolkata. Is this ok?
            2).Sir, I want to perform rudra abhishekam also, so can i perform it after coming back in my hometown or in srikalhasti? Because u told me to go back home after kaalsarpa puja?
            3). Should i do without water fast before the puja? I have severe gastric problem so can i take medicine before sunrise? What will be the best for puja?
            4). Sir, now i have very odd question to u- as i never went to bangaluru or chennai so one of my extended family brother (not in blood relation) will receive and go with me to srikaalhasti. But the fact is unfortunatly he lost his father one and half months back, he assured me that he will not enter in temple premises, he will only go with me as a driver to ensure good and safe journey for me. Now my question is, can he go with me as he recently lost his father?

    • Dear Debashree,

      Sir,
      Thanks, thanks, thanks a ton for your support and reply. Now i am planning to perform the puja in next tuesday that is on 16th of june.
      1). As u told me that after compliton of puja i should go back to home directly so i plan to take train or flight in imidiate next morning and will spend d night time in station or airport as i am going from kolkata. Is this ok? – Yes absolutely fine.
      2).Sir, I want to perform rudra abhishekam also, so can i perform it after coming back in my hometown or in srikalhasti? Because u told me to go back home after kaalsarpa puja? – Rudra Abhishekam will also be done at Sri Kalahasti Temple, For Lord Shiva at Kalahasti there won’t be any Dosha so if you want to perform Rudra Abhishekam you can do that after Kala Sarpa Dosha Pooja.
      3). Should i do without water fast before the puja? I have severe gastric problem so can i take medicine before sunrise? What will be the best for puja? – You can take water that is not a problem, only thing is you shouldn’t carry pooja material back home, I mean after Pooja you can purchase bottle there are Temple premises and dispose it , Don’t carry left over bottle with you back home.
      4). Sir, now i have very odd question to u- as i never went to bangaluru or chennai so one of my extended family brother (not in blood relation) will receive and go with me to srikaalhasti. But the fact is unfortunatly he lost his father one and half months back, he assured me that he will not enter in temple premises, he will only go with me as a driver to ensure good and safe journey for me. Now my question is, can he go with me as he recently lost his father? – Absolutely fine, there won’t be problem with that, as he is just accompanying for Pooja and It will not impact anyone. Remember that after Pooja please don’t enter your relatives home as well even if they invite you without knowning.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

    Kindly advise us for which we are very greatfull to you.

    • Dear Rambabu,

      Yes, Sunday and Tuesday that too Rahu Kalam time is best time for Rahu Ketu Pooja.

      As you are planning to Tirupati Rahu Ketu Pooja should be performed after Lord Venkateswara Darshan in Tirumala.

      For this pooja you don’t need to stay in Sri Kalahasti Temple town. Please look for accommodation in Tirupati or Tirumala.

      Precautions to care:
      As this pooja should be last pooja during your journey. After this Journey, whoever performs pooja should leave directly to home, not to visit any temples, relatives home, should also change dress and throw the old dress ( includes innerwear as well) into Swarna Mukhi River.

      Please let me know if further information required.

      Thanks,

  7. Dear Sir,

    • Dear Harish,

      Sunday is the best time for Rahu Ketu Pooja at Kalahasti Temple, and too if you perform Pooja between 4:30 pm – 6 pm is still best time.

      Rahu Ketu pooja will be performed right from 6 am – 6 pm , but best time is during Rahu Kalam. Please be there in Temple at least by 5 pm or 5:15 pm so that you can join next Pooja slot.

      Could you let me know your Darshan timings in Tirumala so that I can provide the best possible way to reach in time..

      Thanks,

  9. Hi sir,
    Namaskar. As i told u earlier, i have completed my rahu ketu puja today at 3-5 pm. I gave 2500 and got d puja material and performed d puja on mandapam near sahasra lingam. After that they asked to see srikaleswarai swami, from there i got one flower garland as ashirwadam then they asked to give silver made snake to hudi and i did that according to instruction. Happily i joined rudra abhishekam puja after n hour. After all rituals they gave me prasadanam. I changed my cloths in a room provided by srikalhasti administration which is situated in temple premises. As i tried to follow every instruction of u. The flower garland and few thing which i got from there, i through in swarnamukhi river and now i am on my way to bangalore airport.
    Sir i must say without ur help i couldnt arrange and perform this puja as soon as i did. Thanks a lot again. Plz tell me whatever i did after puja is right or not?

    • Dear Debashree,

      It is absolutely fine, and it is not required to carry home. Swarna Mukhi River is the best and Holy river, even if we do anything unknowingly it will absorb the bad.

      Happy and safe journey.

      Thanks,

  10. Dear Sir,

    My astrologer suggested me that I should perform Rahu Kethu pooja in Kalahasthi and after that I have to immediately go to Tiruthanni and should perform Panchamrutha abhishekam to subramanyeswara swamy next day. So I am planning on perform these poojas on 27June and 28June 2015. I just need a solid confirmation from you Sir that it is ok to visit other temples after performing the Rahu Kethu pooja. Because a lot of posts here from you mentioned that we should not visit any temples after the Pooja.

    Also, I wanted to know that After the Pooja on Saturday can I stay in a Lodge till my return journey that evening?

    • Dear Anand,

      Yes, It depends on the horoscope. If horoscope demands that we need to follow the same.
      Don’t worry you are good to perform Panchamrutha abhishekam as conveyed by your astrologer.

      Please let me know if further clarification required.

      Thanks,

      • Dear Sir,

        Thank you for the quick reply . Can we stay the night there in the Kalahasthi Temple? Is there someone we need to take permission from or Is there someone at the temple who can help us out?

        • Dear Anand,

          No need to stay in Kalahasti Temple. I mean stay in Kalahasti Town, Near by hotels to Temple.

          Please let me know if further clarification required.

          Thanks,

      • Will I get separate priest for rahu kethu pooja at kalahasti temple if I take the ticket of Rs 2500?

    • Dear Saravanan,

      Be there at temple by 7:45 am so that you can join perform pooja at 9 am. Kalahasti don’t have such facility to accommodate advance booking.

      You can also do this that after pooja, take bath in Hotel and leave dress there itself and vacate room.

      Fasting not required, you can have food before pooja.

      Please let me know if further clarification required.

      Thanks,

      • Dear Kamal,

        Please advise.

        • Dear Saravanan,

          Thanks,

    • Dear Akshay,

      Private accommodation is not available at Tirumala. Free Dormitory rooms with locker facility available at all PAC’s in Tirumala. one is beside C.R.O General office Tirumala. Direct bus do available it will be with less frequency. From Tirumala to Tirupati it takes around 45 -50 mins and from Tirupati to Kalahasti it takes 60 mins(max).

      Please let me know if further clarification required.

      Thanks,

  28. Whether direct transport available from Titumala to Sri Kalahasti ?

  29. Kamal Sir, Thanks for your guidance. Based on your inputs, our program is as follows. On 23rd July myself and my father arrive at Chennai Airport at 9-30 AM. How to go to Tirupati from there ? Where to stay at Tirupati ? At Tirupati, we plan to visit Kapileswar, Padmavathi & Vakula Mata Temples. Can we reach Tirumala same day ?

    • Dear Akshay,

      From Chennai Airport , please take prepaid taxi to Koyambedu Bus Station, you can tell him CMBT. From CMBT, Tirupati Bus will be availale at frequency of 30 mins.

      Rough estimation on Journey Time and hours
      9:50 am – 10:00 (start from chennai Airport ) and it takes 40 – 50 mins to reach CMBT

      10:50 am ( CMBT) and it takes 25 mins to look for bus and if Bus starts at 11:30 or 12 pm then you can reach Tirupati by 3:45 pm or 4:15 pm.

      After reaching Tirupati, Please go to Srinivasam complex (opp bus station) where rooms are allotted to pilgrims on arrival. If you don’t get accommodation, then try at Vishnu Nivasam which is at 1.5 km from Srinivasam complex.

      You can reach Tirumala on the same day, it would be nice to look for accommodation first for 23rd. 24th you can plan for Darshan.
      and 25th it will be Rahu Ketu Pooja. No accommodation required at Sri Kalahasti.

      Reach Tirupati and stay in Tirupati either at TTD accommodation if available or at Private accommodation. And visit Tiruchanoor Padamvathi Amma Varu Temple, Govindaraja Swamy Temple and Srinivasa Mangapuram Temple.

      And on 25th vacate room and reach Sri Kalahasti, do Rahu Ketu Pooja and after pooja you can leave to Gudur from Sri Kalahasthi.

      Rahu Ketu Pooja time between 9:00 am – 10:30 am as it takes 45 mins after Pooja for completing Darshan. Which means by 10:30 am or 11 am you are good to start to Gudur. If you get Bus at 12 pm or 12:30 pm to Gudur then it takes 1 hours 30 mins which means by 2 pm or 2:30 pm you will be in Gudur.

      You can relax for 2 -3 hours at station and can board train.

      Please let me know if further clarification required.

      Thanks,

  30. We plan to have Balaji darshan on 23rd night or 24th morning. Is online booking must being a week day ? On 24th we plan to move to Kalahasti for Rahu Ketu Pooja on 25th morning at 9 AM. Where to stay at Kalahasti ? We have our return Train from Gudur same day at 6 PM. Is the holy trip schedule OK & feasible ? Pl. guide & suggest. Thanks again.

  31. Hello Sir,

    Can we perform rudravishekam pooja after the special rahu ketu kala sarpa dosha nivarana pooja in sriKalahasti temple on the same day.

    Regards,
    Pritam

    • Dear Pritam,

      If you perform Rudrabhishekam during Pradhosha time then it will have higher impact. Could you let me know the Pooja date?

      Thanks,

      • Hello Sir,

        We will be performing the pooja on 5th, Aug as suggested by our astrologer.
        We will be reaching Tirupati on 4th, Aug and planning for Lord Balaji darshan on the same day.

        So is it fine if Lord Balaji darshan is done before the pooja and perform Rudravishekam after the pooja?

        Regards,
        Pritam

        • Dear Pritam,

          Rahu Ketu Pooja should be after Tirumala Darshan. It is still ok perform Rudravishekam before or after Rahu Ketu Pooja as it is not Dosha Nivarana Pooja.

          Please let me know if further clarification required.

          Please let me know if further info required.

          Thanks,

  45. Hi Kamal Sir,

    1. I saw in patches here and there saying that, throw the clothes after pooja and in some places not required to throw, so which is is correct?
    2. Also do we need to take BATH before or after the Pooja, since we wish to arrive at ~ 4-5 AM and after performing Pooja do we need to take bath?
    3. So the Pooja Timings should be between 6 am and 6 pm only?
    4. Wife and husband can both do the pooja on a single ticket right?

    • Dear Hanumanth,

      No need to discard dress, Please follow this procedure

      1) A day before pooja, one should sleep on floor
      2) Next day morning after taking bath, reach Temple and do Abhishekam with Milk to the Idols at Rudra Padam ( which is 100 ft from Pathala Ganapathi Temple) and do 3 Pradakshinam to the Idols.
      3) After Abhishekam, please perform Rahu Ketu Kala Sarpa Dosha Pooja
      4) After pooja, please donate 2 -3 meal packets to the poor.
      5) Now you are good to leave home.

      Yes, wife and husband can perform pooja on a single ticket.

      If you let me know the exact date so that I can let you know the best pooja time.

      Thanks,

      • Thanks for your reply and patience in serving others as well diligently. Have a query once again.

        For taking bath – do we have Temple owned rooms for taking bath? if so how much is the price in general for 3 people just for finishing bath?

        You have asked for the date we wish to come in there – We are actually planning to come on Oct 4th morning that falls on Sunday, so it will not fall under the preferable time you normally suggest.

        Thanks alot

        • Dear Kamal Sir,

          Have a couple of queries now, we are actually planning to come Sri Kalahasti on Oct 4th Morning.

          1. Can we get Devastanam owned rooms for refreshment like taking bath for 3 folks, if so how much is the price usually just curious.

          2. For 1500/- and 2500/- tickets : “2 Adults and 2 Kids are allowed along with you for the Pooja” Does this mean myself, my wife and father be allowed? We totally 3 adults but only couple will perform the Pooja.

  46. Meenakshi Subramaniam

    Our son is keeping poor health and has been advised to do the Kalasarpa Nivaran Pooja . Since he is unable to come, can we, parents do it on his behalf at Srikalahasti.

    • Dear Meenakshi Subramaniam,

      Sure, I will check with priest who can do this pooja privately and let you know by Monday.

        • HI Madam,

          You can perform pooja between 4:30 pm to 6pm on arrival you can get the tickets And also follow the procedure to perform the pooja:

          Procedure to be followed for Rahu Ketu Pooja

          1) A day before pooja, one should sleep on floor
          2) Next day morning after taking bath, reach Temple and do Abhishekam with Milk to the Idols at Rudra Padam ( which is 100 ft from Pathala Ganapathi Temple) and do 3 Pradakshinam to the Idols.
          3) After Abhishekam, please perform Rahu Ketu Kala Sarpa Dosha Pooja
          4) After pooja, please donate 2 -3 meal packets to the poor.
          5) Now you are good to leave home.

          No need to change clothes. Not required to sleep on floor. You can do one thing, after arriving at Kalahathi, try to perfrom abhishekam to the Idol at Rudra padam with 1-2 liters of milk. Just sprinkle milk on the idols which is not reachable to you.

          Why I’m suggesting Rudra Padam is , right from the beginning of this temple , Rahu Ketu pooja to be conducted here so these idols holds actual power.
          As crowd is increasing so they moved Rahu Ketu pooja process inside Halls. So it is advisable to perform abhishekam and do 3 pradakshinam.

          After this you are can purchase ticket from the counter and perform pooja. After pooja, try to donate 2 -3 meal packets to the poor. With this you will get complete benefit from the pooja.

          Thanks
