Mangal Dosh Puja
A remedy for Mars-related afflictions before marriage
Overview
Mangal Dosh, or Kuja Dosh, arises when Mars occupies certain houses in the birth chart and is traditionally associated with friction in married life. This puja is a common request from families beginning marriage discussions for a son or daughter.
Religious Importance
The ritual invokes Hanuman ji and Lord Shiva, both associated with pacifying Mars, along with a dedicated Navgraha worship focused on Mangal.
Who Should Perform This Ritual
Typically performed by or on behalf of the individual whose chart shows the dosh, most often before marriage or shortly after an engagement is finalised.
Benefits
- Aimed at easing friction and delays related to marriage
- Believed to reduce Mars-related restlessness and impulsiveness
- Traditionally supports harmony once married
- Often paired with a compatibility (guna milan) review
When Should It Be Performed
Tuesdays are considered ideal for Mangal-related worship. Many families schedule it a few weeks before the wedding date is finalised.
