Some Doshas are important and must be considered while finding a muhurtha for marriage. Here we will discuss Paat Dosha which is one of the ten Doshas considered to judge marriage muhurtha. Let us consider how this Dosha is formed. If Moon is placed in the Harshan, Vaidhriti, Vyatipat, Shoola or Gand Nakshatra then Pat Dosha may be formed. Pat Dosha yoga is formed when Moon and Sun are in a specific distance from each other, thus, marriage Nakshatra should be compare with the Nakshatra of Sun to determine whether Paat Dosha is present.
