Pitra Dosh ?
Pitra Dosh occurs due to unfulfilled desires or karmic debts of ancestors (pitra), and can lead to delays, obstacles, health issues, disturbed relationships, or lack of peace and prosperity in life. Often, Rahu and Shani (Saturn) are responsible for Pitra Dosh, especially when placed in the 9th house, 1st house, or with Sun or Moon.
