What Is Manglik Dosha — Causes, Check, and Cancellation

Manglik dosha (Mangal dosha) is one of the most-asked topics in match-making. It is counted separately from the 36 gunas.

When Manglik dosha forms

When Mars sits in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house from the Lagna, the Moon, or Venus, the chart is considered Manglik. All three reference points are checked.

Checking both charts

Matching looks at the Manglik status of both the groom and the bride. A common rule is that if both are Manglik, the dosha is considered mutually cancelled.

Separate from the score, but read together

Manglik status does not add into the 36 points of guna milan — it is shown as a separate flag so the picture stays clear.

Check your Manglik status

See your chart’s Manglik status on the Manglik check page, or run a full kundli match.
