When choosing a life partner for marriage, the first thing that is checked is the planetary defects in the horoscope, and the compatibility of qualities is assessed. Traditionally, people consult a pandit to have their horoscopes examined. However, in today’s world of gadgets, people often match their horoscopes themselves at home, instead of going to a priest. During this process, many people, both men and women, are found to have Mangal Dosha (Mars defect) in their horoscopes, and such people are called Mangliks. It is believed that a Manglik person’s marriage is sometimes performed with a tree to mitigate this defect. Various rituals and pujas are also performed. Before understanding what factors to consider for the marriage of Manglik individuals and the sequence of their marriage ceremonies, it is essential to understand what Mangal Dosha in a horoscope means.
What is Mangal Dosha in a Horoscope?
The planet Mars is considered a factor of anger, energy, courage, and aggression. Specifically, people whose horoscopes show Mangal Dosha (or Manglik Dosha) have the planet Mars located in the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth, or twelfth house of their birth chart. This placement of Mars creates Mangal Dosha in the horoscope. This can lead to delays in marriage and a turbulent married life. It can also cause irritability in a person’s temperament.
Does Mangal Dosha always have negative effects?
This planet is considered a factor of courage and confidence, in addition to anger. It strengthens a person’s willpower and enhances their leadership qualities. If the positions of Jupiter and the Moon are strong in your horoscope along with Venus, then in such a situation, the influence of Mars keeps life balanced. In fact, there are two types of Mangal Dosha. One is partial, which has a limited effect, and the other is complete Mangal Dosha. This can lead to many problems in personal life and a disturbed married life. Furthermore, if both the bride and groom have Mangal Dosha in their horoscopes, its effect is neutralized after marriage.
How to find out about Mangal Dosha before marriage
Get your horoscope checked
Before marriage, be sure to show your horoscope to pandit. Find out if the planet Mars is positioned in the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth, or twelfth house in your birth chart. If it is, it can lead to many problems after marriage.
Understand the positions of other planets
Find out what other planetary combinations are present in your life besides the position of Mars. The influence of other auspicious planets also affects Mangal Dosha. Therefore, a proper analysis of the horoscope is considered very important.
Consult with priests
After learning about the position of Mars, trust in performing remedies to bring about positive changes in your life. Try to appease the planets as advised by the priest. Also, conduct the marriage ceremonies accordingly.
Adopt remedies to pacify the planetary influences
Generally, to improve the position of Mars, performing Kumbh Vivah, observing fasts, and conducting Shanti Puja are advised. In addition, several changes should be made in the house according to Vastu Shastra. Chanting specific mantras and wearing a red coral gemstone can also help resolve the problem.
Tips to deal with manglik dosh
Kumbh Vivah
This is one of the best remedies to mitigate the effects of Mangal Dosha. In this ritual, a person with Mangal Dosha in their horoscope is symbolically married to a peepal, banana, or banyan tree. This is believed to automatically reduce the negative influence of Mars in the horoscope.
Mangal Shanti Puja
To maintain peace and harmony in life, it is advised to perform a Mangal Shanti Puja every Tuesday. This can help remove negativity from life, and happiness returns to married life.
Chanting Mantras
Reciting the Hanuman Chalisa on Tuesdays is believed to resolve many problems. Chanting mantras suggested by a priest can also help alleviate the problem.
Charity
Donating red lentils, red clothes, jaggery, and other necessary items can also provide relief from Mangal Dosha. This is believed to bring happiness back into life.
