Pitra Dosh

If the ninth house of the Kundli or horoscope is afflicted by malefic planets, then it is indicative of the unfulfilled wishes of the ancestors, which we call Pitra Dosha. In addition, Pitra Dosha can be formed even if there is a presence of the Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Mercury, and Ketu in the fifth house of the horoscope. At the same time, if a person has ever disrespected any Divine Saint or Monk, Brahmin or Kul Guru, then that person remains under the suffering of Pitra Dosha. Apart from this, performing Gau Hatya (killing cows) or not offering water to the forefathers are also considered to be one of the main reasons for this Dosha to form in one’s Kundli.
