He was watched by the demi gods, and they informed Mohini (Female form of Lord Vishnu). However, by that time Rahu had drunk the divine drink and become immortal. Lord Vishnu (in the form of mohini) got angry and removed Rahu\u2019s head with&nbsp;his powerful weapon Sudarshan&nbsp;Chakra. Rahu\u2019s head was separated from his body and his head was known as Rahu and his body was known as Ketu. From then onward, Rahu and Ketu were given the responsibility to influence the lives of the humans on&nbsp;Earth, based on their karmic deeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a famous temple for worshiping Lord Rahu, which is situated in Thirunageswaram near Kumbakonam. There is a famous temple for Ketu at Keezhaperumpallam in Nagapattinam district. It is also situated near kumbakonam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lot of devotees, who suffer from sarpa dosha will visit the above temples and offer prayers, do pujas, perform abhishekham and archanai to them to get relieved from Sarpadosha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing water and food to the animals and birds is also considered as a good human act and will satisfy rahu and ketu .<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can also reduce the ill effects caused by rahu and ketu by offering food to the poor and the needy, by giving clothes to the poor, providing shelters to the homeless people, and also by doing various social welfare activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IMPORTANCE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two snake gods, rahu and\nketu contains super natural powers, and are giving the good and the bad results\nin our life on the basis of our good and the bad deeds.

If we worship them sincerely with utmost faith and\ndevotion in our mind, and also by doing good activities in our life, we can\nreduce the bad effects of rahu and ketu to some extent.
