Pitra Dosh is generally interpreted as the curse of ancestors. If Pitra Dosh is formed in your horoscope, it does not mean that your Pitras (Ancestors) are cursing you; it means that your Pitras are themselves cursed by virtue of their bad karmas. A part of this curse or karmic debt has been forwarded to you. Pitra Dosh is an inheritance of karmic debt of the family line and you have to accept it, whether or not you want to. This book features comprehensive details about various aspects related to the concept of Pitra Dosh. The book features a chapter on Pitra Dosh and 12 chapters on different types of Pitra Dosh formed in 12 houses of horoscope.

These factors include placements of relevant planets in various houses, signs, nakshatras and navamshas; influences of other benefic and malefic planets; and the impact of overall horoscope as well as planetary periods on Pitra Dosh.
