Mangal Dosh, also known as Manglik Dosha, Kuja Dosha, Bhauma Dosha and Chevvai/Sevvai Dosham in Tamil, is considered the most unfavourable Dosha in any individual’s birth horoscope (जन्म-कुण्डली). In North and many parts of India, Mars is known by the Mangal Grah/मंगल ग्रह whereas in South India, it is known as “Chevvai or Sevvai”.

In Vedic Hindu astrology, Mars, Sun, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu are seen as unfavourable planets, which can be damaging to the life events of individuals in many ways. Mars (Mangal/मंगल) is the most cruel planet that affects the birth horoscope (जन्म-कुण्डली) of a person adversely. If Mar or Mangal is unfavourably positioned in your birth chart, it is considered the most harmful for marital life. It also makes a person down to earth and understanding by nature. A strong Mars though makes an individual very argumentative and dominating, it also creates a bold, strong and fearless personality.

What Is Mangal Dosha or Manglik Dosh?

If Mars is positioned in the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth or twelfth house from the Lagna or ascendant in a Kundali, it is considered Mangal Dosha, also called Manglik Dosha, Kuja Dosha, Bhauma Dosha and Chevvai/Sevvai Dosham in Tamil. To know if a person is Manglik, his/her Lagna chart, Moon chart and Venus chart should be checked. A person is Non-Manglik only if Mars afflicts none of the three charts. However, if the Planet Mars or Mangal occupies the above houses in one’s natal chart it is viewed as ‘High manglik Dosha’ and if it is sitting in these houses in any one of these charts, it is viewed as ‘Low Manglik Dosha’.

While evaluating Mangal Dosh in an individual’s birth chart, North Indian astrologers do not take the second house into consideration, and South Indian astrologers do not the first house into consideration. However, many astrologers take both the first and second houses into consideration while evaluating Manglik Dosha, also called Sevvai Dosham according to South Indian Astrologers.

Evaluation of Manglik dosh is very significant at the time of marriage and charts of both the bride and groom should be analysed carefully while horoscope matching. This helps in checking the compatibility between two partners to ensure a happy marital life. According to Vedic Hindu Astrology, if any of the two persons has any kind of Manglik Dosha present in their horoscope it may lead to an unhappy marital life, and many times it leads to the death of the life partner.

However, if you have this dosha in your chart you need not be upset, as the malefic effects of Mangal dosh get nullified if the benefic planets like Jupiter or Venus aspects planet Mangal in your Kundali. Moreover, you can nullify this dosha by following some remedial rituals, that we have discussed below on this page.
