In Vedic Astrology
Manglik Dosha, also known as Mangal Dosha, occurs when Mars (Mangal) is placed in certain houses of a person’s birth chart (Kundli). It is believed to impact marriage, relationships, and overall life stability. Individuals with this dosha are called Mangliks, and it is traditionally considered a significant factor in marriage compatibility.
How Does Manglik Dosha Occur?
Manglik Dosha is formed when Mars is positioned in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of a person’s Kundli. Since Mars represents aggression, energy, and dominance, its placement in these houses can lead to relationship conflicts, delays in marriage, and challenges in partnerships.
Effects of Manglik Dosha:
✅ Delays or Troubles in Marriage – Difficulties in finding a compatible life partner
✅ Relationship Conflicts – Possibility of misunderstandings, dominance issues, or emotional imbalance
✅ Financial & Career Challenges – Mars’ influence may cause instability in career growth or financial matters
✅ Health Concerns – Potential for stress, anxiety, or health issues due to Mars’ fiery nature
Remedies for Manglik Dosha:
🔹 Kundli Matching – Marrying another Manglik can neutralize the dosha
🔹 Puja & Mantras – Performing Mangal Puja and chanting Hanuman Chalisa or Navagraha Mantras
🔹 Wearing Gemstones – Wearing a Red Coral (Moonga) can balance Mars’ energy (only after consultation)
🔹 Fasting & Donations – Observing Tuesdays fast and donating red items (like lentils, jaggery)
🔹 Kumbh Vivah – A ritualistic remedy where a Manglik marries a deity or a symbolic object to nullify the dosha
