Pitra Dosha Checker
Each classical indicator checked against your real positions — present or not.
Pitra Dosha has no single classical definition, so this tool does not hand you a yes/no label. It checks each recognised indicator around the Sun and the 9th house directly against your computed chart and shows a transparent checklist.
What you'll see
- Sun conjunct Rahu, Ketu or Saturn — checked
- A node or Saturn in the 9th house — checked
- The 9th lord's affliction — checked
- The Sun's house and the 9th lord, with an honest caveat
Frequently asked
What causes Pitra Dosha?
It is a composite of indicators around the Sun (the significator of father) and the 9th house of dharma — typically Sun–Saturn or Sun–node contacts and affliction of the 9th house or its lord.
Is Pitra Dosha a curse?
No. It is a chart signature to investigate, not a verdict on you or your ancestors. One or two soft indicators are common and not alarming.
