The remedies for Dosha Parihara vary depending on the specific dosha present in an individual’s birth chart. Here are some common remedies:

1. Puja and Homam: Performing specific pujas (rituals) and homams (fire ceremonies) dedicated to the deity associated with the afflicting planet or dosha can help appease the negative influences. Mantras and prayers are chanted during these rituals to seek divine blessings and mitigate the dosha.
2. Gemstone Therapy: Wearing gemstones associated with the benefic planets or those capable of balancing the energies of the afflicting planets can be beneficial. For example, wearing a blue sapphire for Saturn-related doshas or a red coral for Mars-related doshas.
3. Charity and Donation: Making donations to temples, charities, or those in need on specific days associated with the afflicting planet can help pacify the dosha. Donating items such as black sesame seeds, mustard oil, iron, or black clothing is considered auspicious for Saturn-related doshas, while donating red-colored items or sweets is recommended for Mars-related doshas.
4. Vratas and Fasting: Observing fasts or vratas (religious vows) on specific days dedicated to the deity associated with the afflicting planet can help mitigate the dosha. Fasting on Saturdays for Saturn-related doshas or Tuesdays for Mars-related doshas is commonly practiced.
5. Yantra Worship: Installing and worshiping yantras (sacred geometric diagrams) associated with the afflicting planets can help ward off negative energies and bring harmony. Yantras are energized through specific rituals and mantras before installation.
6. Recitation of Mantras: Chanting specific mantras dedicated to the afflicting planet or deity can help alleviate the dosha. Mantras such as the Shani Gayatri mantra for Saturn-related doshas or the Mangal Beej mantra for Mars-related doshas are commonly recommended.
7. Astrological Remedies: Consulting with an experienced astrologer for personalized astrological remedies such as wearing specific amulets or talismans, performing planetary poojas, or conducting astrological rituals based on the individual’s birth chart.

It’s important to note that the effectiveness of remedies may vary depending on the severity of the dosha and individual karmic factors.
