Vedic Astrology · By Dr. Aadesh Sharma · 26 Feb 2026

What is Mangal Dosha?

Mangal Dosha (also called Kuja Dosha or Chevvai Dosham) occurs when Mars (Mangal) is placed in specific houses of the birth chart. According to classical Vedic texts, Mars in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house from the Ascendant, Moon, or Venus creates this Dosha.

It is said to cause turbulence in a person's married life if their partner does not also carry the same Dosha. However, the actual impact varies significantly based on the overall strength of the horoscope.

✓ Affects approximately 40–50% of all horoscopes
✓ Severity depends on the house and sign of Mars
✓ Can be fully cancelled (Dosha Parihara) in many cases
✓ Proper remediation leads to a harmonious marriage
