Manglik Dosha

Manglik Dosha, also known as Mangala Dosha, is a blemish in a horoscope due to Mars. It is said to happen when Mars occupies the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of a person’s horoscope. A person born under the influence of Mars is called a Manglik. 
 
Manglik Dosha is considered inauspicious in marriage astrology. It is thought to create problems in married life, such as: 
  • Obstacles in the timing of marriage
  • Problems remaining even after marriage
  • Unnecessary conflicts
  • Physical assault and violence
  • Tension, distress, separation, or even divorce
According to superstition, the marriage between a Manglik and a non-Manglik is disastrous. 
Some remedies for Manglik Dosha include: 
  • Offering red flowers and jaggery to Lord Ganesh on a daily basis
  • Waking up early in the morning, taking a bath, and chanting the mantra “Om Gam Ganapataye Namah” 108 times
