Information About

Mangal Dosha




Mangal Dosha is an Astrological condition that occurs if Mars is in the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of the Vedic Astrology lunar chart. A person born in the presence of this condition is termed a '''manglik'''.

This condition is believed by some to be devastating for marriage, causing discomfort and tension in relationship, leading to separation and divorce, and in some cases, it is believed to cause untimely death of one spouse. This is attributed to the "fiery" nature of this planet. If two mangliks marry, the negative effects are believed to cancel each other out. However, Mars is not the only planet in Vedic Astrology that is supposed to affect the relationship and these effects should be seen in a broader perspective of overall Astrological Compatibility .

There is also a belief that the negative consequences for a single-manglik marriage can be resolved if the manglik first performs a ceremony called a kumbh vivah, in which the manglik "marries" a , contrary to India's Constitution .
