Mangal Dosha Calculator

Mangal Dosha is a condition in Vedic astrology where Mars (Mangal) sits in one of six houses of the birth chart: the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th. A person with this placement is called Manglik. Families most often ask about it when a marriage is being discussed, because those houses touch the self, the household, the spouse and private life.

Mars stands for energy, courage, heat and a readiness to act. Astrologers read it as useful in small doses and difficult when it presses on the houses that deal with partnership. That is the whole idea behind the dosha. It is a pointer worth looking at, and it is never a verdict by itself.

No. They are different names for the same check. Mangal, Kuja and Bhauma are all names for Mars. Manglik describes the person, and dosha (sometimes written dosh) means a fault or affliction. You will also see Mars Dosha and Angarak Dosha used loosely, though Angarak Dosha usually means something different: Mars joined with Rahu.

Spelling varies from site to site, and so does the method. That is why two calculators can give different answers for the same person. We spell out our rules below so you can compare.

These are traditional readings of Mars in each house. They describe tendencies. How strongly any of them shows up depends on Mars's sign, the planets that aspect it and the rest of the chart.

The calculator builds your sidereal birth chart from your date, time and place of birth, using Swiss Ephemeris, the Lahiri ayanamsa and whole-sign houses. You can view those planetary placements in your free Kundli birth chart. This calculator then finds the signs of your Lagna, Moon, Venus and Mars, and counts Mars's house from each of the three starting points. A check is marked as triggered when Mars lands in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house of that count.

What it does not do

It does not apply every classical cancellation rule, it does not compare two charts, and it does not look at the Dasha. It reports a placement and a short list of reducing factors it can detect from planetary data. That keeps the result honest. A full judgement needs a person looking at the whole chart.

The label counts how many of the three checks were triggered. One of three is Limited, two is Moderate, and all three is Strong. It tells you how widely the Mars placement shows up across the three reference points. It says nothing about how a marriage will go.

A Limited result, say Mars in the 7th from the Lagna only, is common. Lots of people have it. Plenty of charts that show "Strong" also carry reducing factors, which is why the next section matters.

A triggered check is rarely the end of the discussion. Classical sources and later traditions describe many conditions that reduce or cancel the dosha, and they do not all agree. These are the ones astrologers mention most often.

We only list what the data supports. We do not turn a positive result into "cancelled" on our own, because that call depends on the full chart. If your result shows a reducing factor, take it as a reason to look further, not as a final answer.

The traditional approach is to match a Manglik chart with another Manglik chart, so the Mars energy on both sides is similar. Where only one partner is Manglik, astrologers look for balancing factors in the other chart before deciding. Families differ a lot in how seriously they take this.

Two things are worth keeping in mind. First, Mangal Dosha is one of many factors in Kundli matching, next to Guna Milan, the Navamsa and the Dasha. Second, a non-Manglik result does not guarantee compatibility. For a proper comparison, use the Kundli matching tool. For the wider marriage picture, see marriage prediction and the marriage age calculator.

Remedies depend on family custom and on the chart. These are the ones people mention most often:

• Reciting the Hanuman Chalisa, especially on Tuesdays.
• Tuesday prayers or a simple fast.
• Donating red lentils (masoor dal) or other items linked with Mars.
• Working on the habits Mars is said to stress, such as patience and calm communication.

• Use a recorded birth time from a hospital paper, birth certificate or family note. A time remembered as "around 6" can change the Lagna.
• Check AM and PM. Swapping them moves the Lagna by about six signs and the chart still looks believable.
• Pick the right town. Many place names repeat across districts, so choose the suggestion with the correct district or state.
• If you do not know your time, trust the Moon check more than the Lagna check, and ask an astrologer about birth time rectification.
• If another site disagrees, compare the ayanamsa, whether the 2nd house is counted and whether the Moon and Venus are used.

जब जन्म कुंडली में मंगल ग्रह लग्न, चंद्र या शुक्र से पहले, दूसरे, चौथे, सातवें, आठवें या बारहवें भाव में बैठा हो, तो उसे मांगलिक दोष (कुज दोष या मंगल दोष) कहा जाता है। विवाह की बातचीत में परिवार अक्सर सबसे पहले यही देखते हैं।

इसे जांचने के लिए जन्म की तारीख, सही समय और जन्म स्थान चाहिए। ऊपर के फ़ॉर्म में तीनों भरें, और कैलकुलेटर लग्न, चंद्र और शुक्र तीनों से मंगल की स्थिति गिनकर बता देगा कि कौन-सी जांच में दोष दिख रहा है।

ध्यान रखें कि मांगलिक होना अपने आप में विवाह में बाधा की गारंटी नहीं है। मंगल अपनी राशि (मेष, वृश्चिक) या उच्च राशि (मकर) में हो, या गुरु का साथ हो, तो कई परंपराएं इसका प्रभाव कम मानती हैं। दोनों साथियों की कुंडली मिलाकर, पूरी कुंडली देखकर ही कोई निर्णय लें। ज्योतिष एक पारंपरिक विद्या है, इसे चिकित्सा, कानूनी या आर्थिक फ़ैसलों का आधार न बनाएं।
