Sri Ketu Bhagavan

Sri Ketu Bhagavan is the descending lunar node and the headless body of the demon Svarbhanu — the counterpart to Rahu. While Rahu represents worldly attachment and material desire, Ketu embodies detachment, spiritual insight, and liberation from the cycle of birth and death. In Vedic astrology, Ketu is considered a powerful karmic planet. Its placement in a horoscope indicates areas of past-life mastery and current-life detachment. Ketu's influence can manifest as sudden spiritual awakenings, disinterest in material pursuits, psychic abilities, and deep mystical experiences. However, when afflicted, Ketu can bring confusion, isolation, and mysterious health issues. At Sri Aadhi Varahi Temple, Sri Ketu Bhagavan is installed alongside Sri Rahu Bhagavan, reflecting their cosmic connection. Devotees worship Ketu for spiritual progress, relief from Ketu Dasha effects, protection from mysterious ailments, and the grace of final liberation (Moksha). Worship is especially powerful on Tuesdays and during Ketu-related transits.
