What is Grahan Dosha?
Grahan Dosha — the “eclipse” indication — is read when a luminary shares a house with a shadow graha. When the Sun sits with Rahu or Ketu it is called Surya Grahan; when the Moon sits with a node it is Chandra Grahan. The Sun stands for vitality and confidence, the Moon for mind and emotion, so the placement asks for steadiness. It is something to care for, never a verdict.
How Daanyam checks it
We compute your chart with Swiss Ephemeris using whole-sign houses and check whether the Sun or Moon shares a house with Rahu or Ketu. You see which type is present — Surya, Chandra, or both — an intensity score from 0 to 100, and any easing factors, such as a benefic Jupiter with the affected luminary.
Common indications
- Sun with Rahu or Ketu — Surya Grahan, touching vitality and confidence.
- Moon with Rahu or Ketu — Chandra Grahan, touching mind and emotion.
- A benefic Jupiter with the affected luminary settles the indication.
Remedies that help
Care for Grahan Dosha centres on honouring the affected luminary — Surya Arghya and Aditya Hridayam for the Sun, or devotion to Chandra and Lord Shiva for the Moon — along with charity and steady routines of rest and light. These are gentle, addressable steps.
