Rahu Puja

Rahu is called Dragon Head because Rahu is not a planet but a shadow planet with the shape of a head, Rahu was a demon named Swarabhanu, who tried to drink elixir with The Devas in disguise, when he was identified, Lord Vishnu severed his Head and his head itself became an identity called Rahu as the elixir had just come down till his head.

As a demon, Rahu is considered a cruel planet. Rahu is associated with bad habits like gambling, lies, harsh speaking, cursing, evil thoughts and deeds, and diseases related to skin. It symbolizes lust, desires, greed, animal instincts and the ability to read the minds of other people. It also signifies religious journeys, esoteric knowledge and psychology.

Weak Rahu in a horoscope indicates negativity and evil. The person with weak Rahu has various discrepancies in life. It deviates a person on the path of evil away from religion and spiritualism.
