Manglik Dosha (Mangal Dosha) is an important factor in Vedic astrology that influences marriage compatibility. It occurs when the planet Mars (Mangal) is placed in certain houses of a person’s birth chart (Kundali), potentially causing issues related to marriage, relationships, and overall harmony.
What is Manglik Dosha?
A person is considered Manglik if Mars is positioned in any of the following houses in their natal chart (Lagna Kundali, Moon Chart, or Venus Chart):
- 1st House (Lagna/Ascendant) – Can cause conflicts in marriage.
- 2nd House – May create financial or family disputes.
- 4th House – Can bring instability in domestic life.
- 7th House – Affects marriage, leading to arguments or separation.
- 8th House – Brings difficulties in longevity and emotional bonding.
- 12th House – Can lead to financial losses and emotional distress.
Effects of Manglik Dosha
- Delay in marriage.
- Frequent conflicts and misunderstandings in married life.
- Possible separation or divorce.
- Health issues or accidents affecting either spouse.
- Financial struggles or instability.
However, the intensity of Manglik Dosha depends on the position of Mars, aspect of other planets, and dosha cancellations.
Manglik Dosha Cancellation (Mangal Dosha Nivaran)
In some cases, Manglik Dosha may be nullified or weakened due to the following conditions:
- If Mars is in its own sign (Aries, Scorpio) or exalted (Capricorn).
- If both partners are Manglik, the dosha cancels out, reducing negative effects.
- Placement of benefic planets (Jupiter, Venus, or Moon) in key houses can neutralize the impact.
- Strong influence of the Ascendant lord or a powerful 7th house may lessen the dosha.
- Manglik Dosha remedies like specific pujas, fasting, charity, or gemstone therapy can help balance the effects.
Remedies for Manglik Dosha
If one partner is Manglik and the other is not, astrologers recommend the following remedies:
- Kumbh Vivah – The Manglik person is "married" to a banyan tree, peepal tree, or an idol of Lord Vishnu before the actual marriage.
- Reciting Hanuman Chalisa daily or visiting Hanuman temples on Tuesdays.
- Wearing a red coral gemstone (Moonga) in gold or copper after consulting an astrologer.
- Observing fasts on Tuesdays and eating only toor dal (pigeon peas).
- Donating red-colored clothes, food, or lentils to the poor on Tuesdays.
Final Thoughts
Manglik Dosha is a significant aspect of Kundali Matching, but it should not be the only deciding factor in marriage. A detailed horoscope analysis along with practical understanding and mutual compatibility should be considered.
