Mangal Dosh (being 'manglik') occurs when Mars sits in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house — counted from the lagna, and in many traditions also from the Moon and Venus.
This page explains the dosh and its remedies; to compare two charts for marriage, use the manglik matching page. Generate your kundli below to see your own Mars placement first.
Effects are classically linked to friction or delay in marriage — but roughly half of all charts are manglik before cancellations, so it is common, not catastrophic.
Strong cancellations exist: Mars in its own signs (Mesha, Vrischika), both partners manglik, or Mars aspected by benefics. Remedies focus on patience, Hanuman/Mangal practices and honest timing — never fear.

FAQ
What is mangal dosh?
A chart is manglik when Mars occupies the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house. It is one of the most common placements and, on its own, is not a reason to reject a match.
What are the remedies for mangal dosh?
Classical practices include Hanuman worship and the Mangal beej mantra on Tuesdays, red-lentil/coral charity, and — for marriage — matching with another manglik chart. The correct remedy depends on the full chart.
Does mangal dosh go away with age?
Many traditions consider its intensity to reduce after ~28, and several cancellations remove it entirely. A full reading is needed rather than a blanket rule.
