Oct
Mangalik Dosha
In Vedic Astrology, Mangalik Dosha occurs when Planet Mars is positioned in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th houses of a birth horoscope. It is also called Mangali Dosha, Kuja Dosha, Angaraka Dosha, Bhauma Dosha or Chevvai Dosha.
What is Mangalik Dosha
Manglik or Kuja dosha is one of the most feared doshas in a birth chart. Mangal is also called Kuja or Mars. Dosha refers to affliction, blemish or negative combination in a horoscope. An individual with a Mangal dosha is called a Manglik.
Kuja or Planet Mars in Vedic Astrology
The crimson coloured Kuja is described as Angaraka, Mangala and Bhauma in the Puranas. Mangal is one of the nine planets in Vedic Astrology. Kuja means Son of Mother Earth, hence the name Bhauma. The ruling deity of this planet is Lord Muruga.
Mars is a fiery planet which represents courage, strength, power and aggression. Mars has a special place in Vedic astrology when it comes to marital affairs. The negative influence of Mangal, known as Mangal Dosha, is believed to be harmful for marriage, resulting in distress and tension in relationships, separation and even divorce.
