What is Manglik Dosha?

In North Indian Vedic astrology, Manglik Dosha (also known as Mangal Dosh) occurs when Mars (Mangal) is positioned in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of a person's birth chart (Kundali). Mars represents aggression, fire, and assertiveness. When placed in houses associated with marriage and domestic harmony, it is traditionally believed to cause friction.

How accurate is this Mangal Dosh Calculator?

Our Manglik Dosha calculator is built using an astronomical engine that computes planetary positions using the precise Lahiri Ayanamsa. Rather than relying on simple approximations, it accurately calculates the exact degree of your Ascendant (Lagna) and Mars to give you a definitive answer.

Manglik Exceptions (Parihar & Nivaran)

Having Manglik Dosha does not mean marriage will be unsuccessful! In fact, most Kundalis have built-in exceptions (Nivaran). If Mars is placed in its own sign (Aries or Scorpio), or if it is exalted in Capricorn, the Dosha is heavily reduced or cancelled. Furthermore, if a Manglik marries another Manglik, the fiery energies balance each other perfectly.
