Mangal Dosha or Manglik Dosha or Kuja Dosha:
Manglik Definition : Mangal Dosha is an astrological combination that occurs if Mars is in the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of the Vedic astrology Ascendant chart(In north India, 1st house is also considered in effect of this Dosha). A person born in the presence of this condition is termed a manglik.
This condition is astrologically believed to be devastating for marriage,causing discomfort and tension in relationship, leading to separation and divorce, and in some cases, it is believed to cause untimely death of one spouse.
This is attributed to the “fiery” nature of this planet. However, if a manglik person is born on Tuesday, the negative effects of Kuja Dosha gets cancelled by itself. Also, if two mangliks marry, the negative effects are believed to cancel each other out. However, Mars is not the only planet in Vedic Astrology that is supposed to affect the relationship and these effects should be seen in a broader perspective of overall astrological compatibility.
There is also a belief that the negative consequences for a single-manglik marriage can be resolved if the manglik first performs a ceremony called a kumbh vivah, in which the manglik “marries” a banana tree, a peepal tree, or a silver or golden idol (Murti) of the Hindu God Vishnu. Before her marriage to Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai one of Indian’s most famous film stars done few rites to bring down the effects of manglik dosha.Some believe that one Manglik should only marry another Manglik, the idea being that two negatives cancel each other out, creating a positive. Although there are “Poojas” that can be performed to allow Manglik and Non-Manglik to marry each other. There are also some astrological remedies (Upayas) which can be used to resolve this Dosha and heading toward a manglik shaadi.An increasing number of individuals are placing less emphasis on such unscientific ideas during the selection of a life partner, as evidenced from the data from online matrimony sites. However, there is still a pretty large following of people who give credence to Manglik Dosha. In some parts of India , it is also called as Mangli.
Mars has a special place in vedic astrology when it comes to marital affairs. Manglik or Kuja dosha is one of the most dreaded dosha in the vedic chart. A number of people get married late because of this dosha as it takes them a long time to find the match (who also have the same dosha). Fortunately most of the times the native having Kuja dosha or Manglik Dosha doesn’t have to fear anything because certain planetary positions may have rendered it ineffective or made it nullified.
