It is one of the most infamous doshas in Vedic astrology. Other names for it are \u2018Kuja\u2019, \u2018Bhom\u2019 or \u2018Angarakha\u2019 Dosha. It can affect both men and women equally. Many Hindus misunderstand the exact effects of this, but the Manglik Dosha meaning is actually quite simple. According to this belief, an individual born under the planet Mars (Mangal) will have bad fortune and a delayed marriage. He\/she is also likely to have an unstable marriage with someone who does not have this Dosha. This is because an individual with this Dosha typically has an erratic, aggressive nature. Astrologers regard Mars as the cruelest planet and Mangal Dosha thus creates significant personality problems for the individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-jothishi wp-block-embed-jothishi\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"W7kIHkDJrb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/jothishi.com\/mangal-dosha\/\">Mangal Dosha: Features, Effects, Remedies and More!<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; visibility: hidden;\" title=\"&#8220;Mangal Dosha: Features, Effects, Remedies and More!&#8221; &#8212; Jothishi\" src=\"https:\/\/jothishi.com\/mangal-dosha\/embed\/#?secret=8PzMskxdgM#?secret=W7kIHkDJrb\" data-secret=\"W7kIHkDJrb\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How does it occur?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Manglik Dosha occurs specifically when Mars manifests in the 1<sup>st<\/sup>, 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, 4<sup>th<\/sup>, 7<sup>th<\/sup>, 8<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;and 12<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;houses of the individual\u2019s birth chart. Mars can also become malefic when it is in conjunction with other malefic and inauspicious planets. It is a fiery planet and a person with Manglik Dosha inherits this fiery trait. Mars also represents ego, arrogance and unpredictable temper. When Mars is the ruling planet in one\u2019s horoscope, he\/she tends to be hot-tempered and egotistical. Such a person thus finds it difficult to compromise with his\/her partner. For this reason, a marriage where one of the partners has Manglik Dosha may face many problems. Several remedies are available to combat this dosha and ease out the difficulties. Another common effect of Manglik Dosha is financial losses and career setbacks for the individual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jothishi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Manglik-Dosha-chart.jpg\" alt=\"Chart showing Manglik Dosha\" class=\"wp-image-5536\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Marriage chart calculating Manglik Dosha effect<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Effect of Manglik Dosha<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Manglik Dosha manifests when Mangal (Mars) appears in certain houses of the birth chart. Each manifestation impacts the individual in a slightly different way. However, in all the cases there is frequent risk of bad temper and conflict. We can describe the different effects of Manglik Dosha as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1<sup>st<\/sup>&nbsp;house<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When Mangal manifests in the first house, it leads to direct negative consequences on marriage as the first house is the \u2018house of the spouse\u2019. Someone with this Dosha is likely to have a marriage filled with conflicts and it can even lead to physical assault. Many such marriages end in separation. A first-house manifestation also affects the 4<sup>th<\/sup>, 7<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;and 8<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2<sup>nd<\/sup>&nbsp;house<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A person with Mangal in the second house will also have a troubled marriage, often leading to divorce and later a second marriage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;house<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Mars in the fourth house denotes frequent professional and financial problems. The individual will constantly be unhappy in his\/her job and will hence frequently change jobs. He\/she could also be at risk from fires or chemical accidents. A fourth-house manifestation also impacts the 7<sup>th<\/sup>, 10<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;and 11<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;houses. An affliction in the 10<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;house could lead to conflicts with the individual\u2019s father. An affliction in the 11<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;house heightens the possibility of losses due to theft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;house<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Mangal in the seventh house will manifest as a temper that is easily provoked.

He\/she will also be prone to accidents. Such an individual typically has a high sex drive and will thus need a partner who can complement that. An eighth-house manifestation also impacts the 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, 3<sup>rd<\/sup>&nbsp;and 11<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;houses. An affliction in the 3<sup>rd<\/sup>&nbsp;house typically results in frequent confrontations with siblings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;house<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Mars in this house manifests in the form of a restless, dissatisfied nature. The individual is hence typically aggressive towards others, and may end up indulging in extra-marital affairs. Such a person also tends to be careless with money. He\/she may suffer from illnesses like hypertension, acidity or blood diseases. A twelfth-house manifestation also affects the 3<sup>rd<\/sup>, 6<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;and 7<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;houses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Mangal Dosh @Jothishi\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pQgv12UbZjk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Marriage Remedies for Manglik Dosha<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Manglik Dosha is one of the most notorious doshas in Vedic astrology.

The individual should consume only milk or fruit juice and eat only toor dal (split pigeon dal).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ashwatha Vivah, Kumbh Vivah or Vishnu Vivah are all effective ways to cancel out the Dosha before getting married. In these situations, the object in question (a tree, a pot or an image of Lord Vishnu) takes on all the negative energy that the individual with Manglik Dosha emanates. After the ceremony, the individual annuls the marriage. He or she does so by breaking the pot, cutting the tree or submerging the idol in water. Afterwards, the individual can marry a non-Manglik partner and enjoy a normal married life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The individual should recite prayers such as Hanuman Chalisa, Gayatri Mantra and Mangal Chandika Stotra every day. Chanting the Navgraha Mantra also helps, as this mantra appeases the wrongly placed Mangal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/jothishi.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Manglik-Dosha-remedy.jpg\" alt=\"Prayers to combat Manglik Dosha\" class=\"wp-image-5535\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Praying to Lord Hanuman helps combat Manglik Dosha.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Further Remedies<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Hindus can also consider the following remedies as effective solutions for Manglik Dosha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One of the best ways to mitigate Manglik Dosha is by visiting a Navgraha temple.

Feeding sweets to birds is another auspicious act.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The individual can also wear a gold ring with a red gemstone on his or her right hand ring finger.
