Manglik Dosh: Meaning, Effects, and Remedies
Manglik Dosh, also called Kuja Dosha, occurs when Mars is placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of a birth chart. In Vedic astrology, this placement is believed to create challenges in marriage, causing delays, conflicts, or emotional struggles. Mars represents energy, passion, and determination, which can make Manglik individuals strong-willed and ambitious but sometimes overly intense in relationships. Traditionally, a Manglik is advised to marry another Manglik to balance the Dosha. Remedies such as Kumbh Vivah (a symbolic marriage to a tree or deity), performing pujas at temples like Mangalnath in Ujjain, chanting Hanuman Chalisa, or wearing gemstones are believed to reduce its effects
