Mangal Dosha
Mars in houses 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, or 12 from lagna, Moon, or Venus is classed as Manglik. We check all three cuts and apply the standard cancellations (Mars in its own sign or exalted).
Birth details
How Manglik is determined
Mangal Dosha (also called Kuja Dosha) is the classical malefic affliction caused by Mars sitting in houses 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, or 12. The cut is taken from three reference points — the lagna (ascendant), the Moon, and Venus — and the chart is considered Manglik if any of the three cuts flags affliction.
Standard cancellations applied here: Mars in its own sign (Aries or Scorpio) or Mars exalted in Capricorn. Other classical cancellations — mutual mangalik between partners, Mars / Jupiter aspect, malefics in 7th from Venus — are out of scope; consult a qualified jyotishi for the full nuance before drawing marriage conclusions.
