Mangal Dosha

It occurs when Mars is placed in specific houses (typically 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th) of an individual’s birth chart. This dosha is often associated with challenges in marital life, including delays in marriage, conflicts, or misunderstandings, and may also impact other areas like health and finances.

Mangal Dosha (also called Manglik Dosha) is a significant condition in Vedic astrology that arises when the planet Mars (Mangal) is placed in certain houses of the birth chart (Janma Kundali). It is commonly associated with marriage-related issues, and is especially considered during kundali matching.

In astrology, Mars is a fiery, aggressive, and energetic planet. It represents:

  • Action & courage

  • Passion & desire

  • Anger & aggression

  • Physical strength

  • Conflict and war

Because of this powerful and sometimes unstable energy, Mars can create imbalance or conflict when placed in certain sensitive areas of life—especially related to relationships and marriage.
