What is Pitra Dosha?
Pitra Dosha is associated with ancestors (pitru). Definitions vary between traditions. It is most often read when the Sun, the 9th house or its lord is afflicted by Rahu, Ketu or Saturn. Remedies traditionally centre on honouring ancestors, for example through Shraddha and charity.
