Kukke Subramanya Temple – Sarpa Samskara Online Booking

What is Sarpa Samskara?

Sarpa Samskara is a sacred two-day Hindu ritual performed exclusively at the Kukke Shree Subrahmanya Temple in Karnataka. It is considered the most powerful remedy for Sarpa Dosha — a negative karmic imprint caused by knowingly or unknowingly harming or killing a serpent in this life or a past one.

According to the Sthala Purana, when Lord Vishnu's vehicle Garuda threatened Vasuki (the serpent king), Lord Subramanya — son of Lord Shiva — gave Vasuki shelter on Ratnagiri Hill at Kukke. This divine connection makes the temple the most potent site in the world for serpent-related dosha remedies. Millions of devotees visit annually to seek relief from the ill-effects of Sarpa Dosha through this ritual.
