Ketu Japam
Ketu Japam is recitation of the Ketu mantra at the prescribed count. Because Rahu and Ketu are always opposed, families are sometimes advised to observe both; whether one or both applies is a chart question.

Before the ritual
How to prepare for Ketu Japam
- Share the preferred date, the location, and the gotra and nakshatra details where you have them.
- Confirm the samagri list and which items the Pandit will bring and which the family arranges.
- Keep a clean, well-ventilated space ready for the agreed vidhanam, with fire safety in mind where a homam is involved.
- Where the ritual is at a temple, check the temple's own rules and schedule before fixing anything.
Do not buy specialised items until the final list is confirmed. Requirements change with the ritual form, the mantra count, the venue and the number of Pandits.
