Astrological benefits of wearing black thread Kala Dhaga |

Do you know why some people wear a simple black thread around their feet? While some people wear it as a fashion statement, others wear it to protect from ‘nazar dosha,’ but do you know why exactly Kala Dhaga is worn, and does it have any astrological relevance? Let’s find out…

What is Kala dhaga?

According to Vedic astrology and Hindu beliefs, Kala Dhaga is basically a sacred black thread, which is worn in Vedic traditions primarily to appease Lord Shani, as it is believed that wearing this may help in neutralizing Rahu-Ketu doshas and protect against the evil eye (nazar).

Why is it a potent remedy?

It is believed that wearing a black thread can work as a simple yet powerful astrological remedy, which is deeply rooted in Vedic astrology. Traditionally, a black thread was tied after energizing the thread with mantras on auspicious days to absorb negativity, balance planetary energies, and bring in stability.

Pacification of Saturn

It is believed to be a powerful remedy to pacify and honor Shani doshas; this is because of its black color, which is a potent remedy to pacify the effect of Sade Sati, which leads to hardships, karmic delays, and struggles of life by channeling the energy of this black thread, which can ground Saturn’s energy. It is believed that wearing black dhanga can benefit many zodiac signs, such as Capricorn and Aquarius; this is because of Shani-related dasa that bring in discipline, longevity, and focus. In fact, for these zodiac signs, tie a black thread on Saturdays for maximum relief from poverty or isolation doshas.

Rahu-Ketu neutralization

It is believed that Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets that often cause confusion, illusions, and sudden misfortunes, but it is believed that wearing a black thread can dissolve all these malefic effects and illusions. This is because this thread filters malefic influences, restoring mental clarity during nodal transits.

Mars and protection boost

Certain zodiac signs like Aries or Scorpio are known for their temper, which is an impact of Mangal’s aggression, which averts conflicts. It is believed that tying a thread can help boost resilience; when this thread is tied on Tuesdays, it helps boost the fire sign and brings balance. It absorbs nazar and unseen threats, boosting immunity; women often wear it on the left ankle, men on the right, replacing it when broken signals absorbed negativity.After energizing the dhaga with mantras, it is advised to perform a puja and chant “Om Sham Shanicharaya Namah,” which is recommended for people struggling with Saturn, Mars or Rahu-related doshas and heavy charts that may foster prana harmony.
