Rahu and Ketu are two shadow planets in Hindu mythology. Rahu and Ketu were basically Asuras. They came and sat with the Devas when they were being served ‘amrita’ or elixir. After they had just drunk half the amrita, they were discovered. Vishnu chopped off their heads with his Sudarshan chakra. Hence, Rahu and Ketu became immortal; they give lots of trouble to people. Remedies for Rahu Dosha are quite simple but they have to be done regularly.
