Situated near the Kshipra River, this temple is one of the most revered places for seeking relief from planetary doshas (afflictions). According to ancient beliefs, offering prayers here mitigates the malefic effects of planets, especially Saturn (Shani) and Rahu-Ketu, ensuring peace and prosperity.

The Rahu-Ketu Dosh Nivaran Puja is performed on Amavasya (New Moon), Saturdays, and during Solar and Lunar Eclipses, as these are considered highly powerful times to reduce the negative impact of planetary positions.

The Shipra Nadi Ghat in Ujjain holds deep spiritual and mythological significance, making it an ideal location for performing Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran Puja. According to Hindu scriptures, the Shipra River is associated with divine purification and liberation. It is believed that during Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean), a few drops of Amrit (nectar of immortality) fell into the Shipra, giving it the power to cleanse sins and grant moksha. Ujjain, being one of the four sacred sites where the Kumbh Mela is held, attracts millions of devotees seeking spiritual blessings and karmic relief.	

Puja for Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran is best performed on significant tithis such as Nag Panchami, Amavasya, Purnima, and especially during Mahashivratri. Devotees take a holy dip in the Shipra River before performing the puja to cleanse themselves spiritually. Rituals like Rudrabhishek and offering Shipra water to Lord Shiva are also performed to seek divine blessings and protection from planetary doshas.	
Performing Kaal Sarp Dosh Nivaran Puja at Shipra Nadi Ghat helps nullify the malefic effects of Rahu and Ketu, removing obstacles and ensuring peace and stability in life. According to the Garuda Purana, offering tarpan and pind daan here helps liberate ancestors from karmic bondage, relieving Pitru Dosha. The Skanda Purana mentions that bathing in the Shipra River purifies sins and grants spiritual growth. Offering Shipra water to Lord Shiva during the puja brings divine grace and protection, as described in the Shiva Purana, ensuring overall well-being and prosperity.

Kamika Ekadashi 2025: Date, Vrat Significance, Rituals & Benefits

Kamika Ekadashi is a holy Hindu fasting day dedicated to Lord Vishnu. On the eleventh day (Ekadashi) of the Krishna Paksha (waning moon phase) in the month of Shravan, people observe this fast, which has significant spiritual significance. In 2025, Kamika Ekadashi will be observed on July 21st. On July 20, the Ekadashi tithi will begin at 12:12 PM and conclude at 9:38 AM. Devotees turn to Lord Vishnu for blessings like prosperity, sin forgiveness, and moksha in addition to praying and fasting assiduously. The date, timings, significance, traditions, and benefits of Kamika Ekadashi are all covered in detail in this blog.
<h3>The Significance of Kamika Ekadashi in Mythology</h3>
Kamika Ekadashi's Legend
<h3>1. The Redemption of the Brahmin</h3>
One of the best-known Kamika Ekadashi stories concerns an impoverished Brahmin who unintentionally committed a grave transgression. He was burdened by guilt and sought the counsel of a knowledgeable sage. The guru advised him to observe Kamika Ekadashi with the utmost fervour and gave him the assurance that Lord Vishnu's grace would atone for his transgressions. The Brahmin followed the sage's instructions, fasted on Ekadashi, prayed, and meditated. Lord Vishnu awarded him freedom (moksha) and pardoned his misdeeds after witnessing his devotion. This story illustrates Kamika Ekadashi's capacity to make amends for even the most grave offences.
<h3>2. The Power of Tulsi and Vishnu’s Blessings</h3>
According to another tradition, a dedicated farmer once saw Kamika Ekadashi but was unable to locate any flowers to present to Lord Vishnu. With a pure heart, he offered Tulsi (holy basil) leaves in desperation. His earnestness impressed Lord Vishnu, who came to him and bestowed upon him riches, prosperity, and a residence in Vaikuntha, his heavenly home. This shows that even the most basic worship with Tulsi pleases Vishnu, and that genuine devotion is more important than expensive offerings.
<h3>3. Gautam Rishi's Curse and Kamika Ekadashi's Intervention</h3>
According to a story from the Padma Purana, Gautam Rishi's ashram was cursed due to an inadvertent transgression. The rishi and his followers were suffering from the effects of Kamika Ekadashi before Lord Vishnu advised them to observe it. The curse was lifted and peace returned once the vrat was observed. This demonstrates Kamika Ekadashi's ability to erase negative karma and curses.

<h3>Spiritual Importance in Scriptures</h3>
According to the Bhavishya Purana: "Observing Kamika Ekadashi destroys sins equivalent to killing a Brahmin (Brahmahatya) or drinking alcohol, and grants the merit of performing 1000 Ashwamedha Yagnas." What Qualifies Ekadashi as "Kamika"? "Kamika" means "wish-fulfilling," implying that sincere observance fulfils followers' desires. The strength of the worship is increased by the belief that Lord Vishnu himself resides in the Tulsi leaves presented on this day.
