Gandmool Nakshatra FAQs
What is Gandmool Nakshatra Dosha?
Gandmool Dosha is formed when the Moon is placed in one of the 6 junction constellations: Ashwini, Ashlesha, Magha, Jyeshtha, Moola, or Revati. These represent the transition points between Water signs and Fire signs in the zodiac.

When should Mool Shanti Puja be performed?
Traditionally, Mool Shanti Puja is performed on the 27th day after birth when the Moon returns to the same birth nakshatra. If missed during childhood, it can be performed at any point in adulthood during a favourable Muhurat.

Gandmool nakshatras are exclusively ruled by either Mercury (Budha) — Ashlesha, Jyeshtha, Revati — or Ketu — Ashwini, Magha, Moola.
