Mangal Dosha Calculator

The Mangal Dosha Calculator checks a Vedic birth chart for Mangal Dosha, also known as Mars Dosha, Kuja Dosha, or being 'Manglik.' This condition occurs when Mars occupies certain houses relative to the ascendant (lagna), the Moon, or sometimes the Venus position. Specifically, Mars placed in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house is traditionally considered to create the dosha, with the 7th and 8th house placements regarded as the most significant for marriage matters.

The tool takes your birth date, time, and location, casts the relevant chart positions, and then evaluates Mars against these sensitive houses from one or more reference points. Because some traditions count the dosha from the Moon and Venus in addition to the lagna, the calculator reports the strength of the affliction rather than a simple yes or no. It also accounts for common cancellations (Mangal Dosha bhanga), such as Mars being in its own sign or exalted, certain aspects from benefic planets, or both partners being Manglik, which is said to neutralize the effect.

In practice, Mangal Dosha is consulted primarily for marriage compatibility, since Mars governs energy, aggression, and conflict, and an afflicted 7th or 8th house is associated with friction or delays in partnership. Families use it during matchmaking to assess whether two charts harmonize and to identify remedies. It is best read alongside full guna milan and overall chart strength rather than treated as a standalone verdict.

Provide an accurate birth time and place so the ascendant and house positions are correct, because the dosha depends on house placement that shifts roughly every two hours. Keep in mind that many traditions consider the dosha to weaken or disappear with age, and numerous classical cancellation rules exist, so a flagged dosha is rarely a deal-breaker. Those continuing with Vedic compatibility analysis may also look at the Nakshatra Calculator for guna matching and the Sade Sati Calculator for Saturn timing.
