When is Kala-sarpa dosha real?

Kala-sarpa forms only when all seven classical grahas fall on one side of the Rahu–Ketu axis. If even one graha is outside, the yoga is partial or absent. VedicSpace walks every graha against the axis and names which of the twelve types (Ananta to Sheshanaga, by Rahu’s house) applies — or states that none forms.

Do I need a puja if my Kala-sarpa is partial?

A partial kala-sarpa — where a graha breaks the axis — is not read as the full yoga by careful astrologers. Checking the actual graha positions before any remedy is the honest first step.

The term appears in none of the 3,971 verses of the Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra we publish. The geometry is real and checkable; the name is not classical. We show the Rāhu–Ketu noose graha by graha, name which of the twelve serpents it is, and tell you honestly whether it is complete, partial, or simply not there. Enter a birth to check.

What the texts do carry is a different rule with a similar name. BPHS adhyāya 36 names a Sarpa yoga — one of the nābhasa figures, formed by the malefics occupying the three kendras — and says what it says about the person born under it. It is not the Rāhu–Ketu axis, and it is not this.
