SriKalahasti Rahu Ketu Puja, Ticket Cost, Procedure

Kalahasteeswara Temple Rahu Ketu Puja Procedure:

In Sri Kalahasti Temple, Rahu Ketu Pooja will performed during Rahu Kalam Timings. The devotee must plan accordingly to be available during Rahu Kalam’s time at the Temple.

The Sri Kalahasti Temple is still filled with Rahu Ketu Pooja, with worshipers from different parts of the country.

Sri Kalahasti Rahu Ketu Pooja is performed at different places in the temple compound/premises; the Pooja Location depends on the ticket price. Sri Kalahasti Rahu Ketu Pooja will occur outside the main Temple and inside the temple premises. Wherever you perform, the benefit of Rahu Ketu Pooja remains the same.

For Rahu Ketu Pooja at Srikalahasteeswara Temple in Sri Kalahasti, All the pooja materials are provided at the ticket counter after purchase.

The Rahu Ketu Pooja ticket includes Pooja material / Samagri, so no additional Pooja materials are required. If you want to take anything, buy some Bilva leaves, Vilva Leaf, and bel patra, available outside the Temple.

The Bilva tree is considered the form of Lord Shiva. It is believed that worshipping Lord Shiva without offering Bilva leaves is considered unfruitful.
Sri Kalahasti Rahu Ketu Pooja will be performed in batches at Mandapam and Halls, for which the entrance and exit gates will differ. The devotee should leave for Lord Shiva Darshan after completing Rahu Ketu Pooja.

For the ticket of Rs.500, everyone can sit in a hall, which will be full of people and have room to perform the Pooja. The priest of the Temple will guide you through the Pooja; he will speak in a microphone to be audible by all. He will inform each step in Telugu, Tamil and English so the devotees can easily follow him.

If you have missed a step, you can ask for help from the temple staff, who will be near you. The rest of the process is simple, and the Pooja time will be 20 to 25 minutes.

After finishing with Rahu Ketu Pooja at Mandapam, you have to take the silver idols with you and place them in The Hundi, which is inside you.

  23. Hi, I’m planning for rahu kethu pooja on 15/Feb/2020, coming from Bangalore(suggest a plan). At what time temple people start issuing the tickets? clothes to be discarded after pooja?

    1. Sir My name is E.balasubramanam I must plan rahuketupuga in August 2020 this month plan, rahuketupuga jarugutunnaya leka covid 19 valla stop chesara .

  24. Is it mandatory the concerned person will be present at the time of performing the rahu ketu pooja at temple ?

    otherwise the temple’s pandit will perform the pooja on our name.is it any chances will be there like rudra abhishekam etc.?

    1. Dear SAKA SREENIVASU
      When the affected person performs the Puja on his own is said to be auspicious. But if unable to make the presence then they can do the puja thru their Parents. If not then we can get it done.

  25. Hello sir,

    Good afternoon, we are planned to do rahu kethu pooja in coming sunday,(21-07-2019). which time is better to do the pooja. let me know the details..

    1. Dear Jaishree
      The temple will be open from 5.00 AM TO 9.00 PM. SriKalahasti temple is auspicious for rahu kethu pooja so you can perform at any time.
      If you are particular about time perform the pooja in Rahu Kalam. Sunday Rahu Kalam time is 4:30 PM To 6.00 PM

  26. Is it mandatory to stay overnight in Kalahasti. As we are from bangalore and early morning travel is convenient for us without staying.

    1. Dear Rupesh
      It is not mandatory.
      It is about 9 to 10 hours to reach Kalahasth from Bengaluru. So starting there by night time reaching tirupati by morning 3 and 5 am, you can reach Kalahasthi by 5 or 6 am and very well you can do rahu kethu pooja and start by afternoon to reach Bengaluru by night.
      If you want to do as i told put a comment about planned days and i let you know how to start and go back finishing pooja.
      Om Namah Shivaya

    1. Dear Ekanath
      The online facility is not yet properly desighed. You can very will easily buy the ticket in person as lot of tickets available for the devotees.
      Reach the temple at least one hour before the desired time of your choice or possibility to do rahu kethu pooja. A little earlier on hokidays would be better as crowd may throng in huge.
      Om Namah Shivaya
