Karaka refer to doer which means a planet which can do something and play a role with ref to a bhava. Grahas become karakas and they provide a very important information in Jyotish when applied properly to the bhavas. Bhavas prosper when the Grahas connected to them are placed nicely in the chart. Before going ahead with the introduction to Karakas first we should understand different karakas which exist in Jyotish
