What is Bhadra Dosha?
Bhadra is another name for the Vishti Karana, one of the eleven karanas (half-tithis). Vishti is considered harsh and is avoided when choosing a muhurta for marriages, travel and new ventures. Being born in Vishti Karana is read as Bhadra Dosha — a muhurta-level caution rather than a major life dosha.
