Kal Sarpa Dosha (or Kaal Sarp Dosha) occurs when all the planets in a person's horoscope are positioned between the Rahu and Ketu axis, with no planet placed outside this axis. Rahu and Ketu are considered malefic planets in Vedic astrology and are often associated with the serpent energy.

Kal means death, and Sarpa means snake. The formation of this Dosha is believed to bring challenges to the native’s life, including health issues, career setbacks, and more.

Kal Sarpa Dosha is formed when all seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) are situated between Rahu and Ketu, with no planets outside this axis. If even one planet is outside this axis, the Dosha is not present.

• Delays or obstacles in marriage.
