Definition: Pitra Dosha arises when Saturn or Rahu is conjunct with or aspects the Sun in the birth chart, indicating unresolved ancestral karma.
Effects: Obstacles in life, delays in marriage or children, recurring family conflicts, and health issues — particularly related to the father or grandfather lineage.
Remedy: Ancestral rites (Shraddha, Tarpan, Pind Daan) during Pitru Paksha are the primary remedies. Regular charity in the name of ancestors also helps.
