Frequently asked questions
What is Mangal Dosha?
Mangal Dosha (also called Manglik or Kuja Dosha) occurs when Mars is placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from the Lagna (ascendant), Moon, or Sun in a birth chart. It is associated with friction in marriage and partnerships.
How serious is Manglik dosha?
Severity depends on the house, the sign Mars sits in, and aspects. Mars in own or exalted signs (Aries, Scorpio, Capricorn) significantly reduces the dosha. Marrying another Manglik also traditionally cancels the effect.
How accurate is this calculator?
It uses approximate sidereal Mars positions (Lahiri ayanamsa). For final matrimonial decisions, please verify with a qualified Vedic astrologer using your full birth chart.
What are common Mangal Dosha remedies?
Reciting the Hanuman Chalisa, fasting on Tuesdays, donating red lentils & jaggery, worshipping Hanuman or Mangal Dev, and (under guidance) wearing red coral are popular remedies.
