Free Pitra Dosha Calculator
Pitra Dosha (Pitru Dosha) is a classical affliction in Vedic astrology linked to unfulfilled ancestral obligations, typically read from the Sun, the 9th house and their lords. It is traditionally associated with delays or obstacles that seem to repeat across generations — and, like all doshas, it comes with recognised remedies.

What triggers Pitra Dosha
Classical texts link Pitra Dosha to affliction of the Sun or the 9th house (house of father and ancestry) — commonly the Sun conjunct or aspected by Saturn, Rahu or Ketu, or malefics occupying the 9th house or afflicting its lord.
Reading it without fear
A dosha is a tendency to work with, not a fixed sentence. ShivAstro's reading always explains what specifically triggers it in your chart and pairs it with traditional remedies — never framed as doom.
Traditional remedies shown alongside
Alongside Pitra Dosha, ShivAstro checks Mangal (Manglik) and Kaal Sarp doshas too, each with its own severity rating, cancellations if present, and classical remedies — all free in the Doshas tab.
