All Learn TopicsManglik Dosh (Mangal Dosha) forms when Mars is placed in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from your Lagna or Moon sign. It is considered inauspicious for marriage in traditional Vedic astrology.
Manglik dosh is believed to create conflicts, delays and misunderstandings in marriage. However, the effect depends on Mars strength, house position and aspects. A strong Mars in a good sign can actually make a person successful, energetic and protective in relationships.
There are 8 types based on Mars position - Lagna Manglik, Chandra Manglik, Budha Manglik, Surya Manglik, Sani Manglik, Kalhriday Manglik, Brahma Manglik and Chhatra Manglik. The strongest is considered when Mars sits in the 1st or 7th house.
Common remedies include fasting on Tuesdays, worshipping Lord Hanuman, donating red lentils (masoor dal) and copper, and keeping a red coral gemstone after consulting an expert. The most traditional remedy is Manglik-Manglik marriage where both partners have the dosh.
