\nPra Rahu is considered an asura and a planetary deity in Hindu and Buddhist traditions. In astronomy, Rahu is not a physical planet but the point where the moon crosses the ecliptic plane during its upward motion, leading to solar and lunar eclipses, often referred to as Rahu swallowing the sun or the moon. Despite its seemingly ominous nature, Rahu is also associated with fortune and luck. Worshipping Rahu serves as a reminder to stay mindful and cautious in decision-making, helping to bring clarity and success to one\u2019s life.<\/p>\n
\nIt is believed that praying to Rahu can help avert misfortunes and attract good luck, promoting career advancement. Rahu is particularly significant for those born on Wednesday nights and those born on Saturday, as well as those born on Tuesday, as these individuals are thought to benefit from Rahu\u2019s influence. Travelers and risk-takers often pray to Rahu for good fortune. However, anyone can worship Rahu as a gesture of forming a positive connection with the deity.<\/p>\n
\nIt is customary to worship Rahu on Wednesday nights. Since this can be late, you can perform acts of merit related to the numbers 8 and 12, such as offering alms to 8 or 12 monks in the morning, or making donations related to light, such as paying for electricity, donating light bulbs, or filling oil lamps. At home, you can start the worship after 6 PM. During eclipses, it is recommended to chant the Rahu worship mantra, Suriyabhappa Mantra, and Chanthabhappa Mantra.<\/p>\n
\nRahu is symbolized by the number 8 and has a power of 12. You can prepare 8 or 12 items for offerings, which may include:<\/p>\n\n
