What are the different types of Kal Sarp dosha?

There are 12 types of Kal Sarp Dosha, each named after the sign where Rahu is placed, such as Anant, Kulik, Vasuki, Shankhpal, Padma, Mahapadma, Takshak, Karkotak, Shankhachur, Ghatak, Vishdhar, and Sheshnag Kal Sarp.

Each type is named after a specific snake deity and is defined by the zodiac sign occupied by Rahu in the chart.

For example, Anant Kal Sarp forms when Rahu is in Taurus, Kulik when Rahu is in Gemini, and Vasuki when Rahu is in Cancer.

The type determines the nature of the dosha's effects, from wealth issues (Vishdhar) to marital problems (Ghatak).

The remedies also differ slightly by type, so knowing your specific Kal Sarp type helps in choosing the right worship.
