This scholarly investigation explores the intricate relationship between the celestial convergence of Mars and Ketu, aiming to elucidate its enigmatic connection with significant historical cataclysms. Through meticulous analysis of various historical events, including the desecration of revered sanctuaries such as the Somnath Temple, Kashi Vishwanath Temple, Surya Marthanda Temple, Sri Krishna Janmabhoomi Temple, and the sacred precincts of Hampi, a discernible pattern emerges: a looming escalation of risk coinciding with the alignment of Mars and Ketu, known as Pishacha Yoga.

Prominent among these events are the tragic occurrences of September 11th, 2001 (9/11), which witnessed the devastating destruction of the World Trade Centre in New York City, and the brazen assault on Israel in 2023, alongside pivotal historical events like World War I, the ascent of Adolf Hitler in Germany, and World War II, all occurring during the conjunction of Mars and Ketu. These incidents serve as poignant reminders of the profound influence of astrological configurations on human affairs, underscoring the potent role of cosmic forces in precipitating monumental disasters. Conversely, within the annals of history lies the Mumbai 26/11 incident, a harrowing siege that plunged the city into terror. Remarkably, this tragedy unfolded without the alignment of Mars and Ketu, offering a sobering reminder of the potential mitigating influence of celestial configurations on the fabric of destiny.

Drawing upon these revelations, this study presents a compelling argument for the astrological significance of the Mars-Ketu conjunction, also known as Pishacha Yoga, in the context of the destruction of Prabhu Shri Ram’s temple in Ayodhya in 1528.
