What is Mangal Dosha?

• It means that there is a defect, or dosha, caused by the Mars (Mangal) planet. This planet is the one of courage, aggression and strength. You can find it in your Vedic astrological natal birth chart.
  
  

What are the effects of Mangal Dosha?

• When Mangal dosha occurs, it can cause marital life to be difficult: nonstop fighting, cheating, divorce--even the untimely death of your spouse. Financial obstacles are not uncommon with Mangal Dosha. What most commonly happens is the delay of your marriage. It is also interpreted to mean that there will not be harmony in the beginning years of a marriage.

• There are many suggested remedies.
  
  For instance, give red clothing to people who work with iron that is sharp.
  
  On the ring finger of your right hand, place a ring of blood coral.
  
  Chant the Gayatri mantra for at least 108 times daily.
  
  Start a fast in a rising moon period on a Tuesday. Hanuman Chalisa needs to be chanted daily.
  
  You can give to charity every Tuesday.
  
  Do not make any quick decisions.
  
  Every three months, if you are healthy enough, donate blood.
  
  Keep Ganesha on your altar daily.
  
  Finding something sweet, feed the birds.

  If a person with Mangala Dosha agrees to marry another person with Mangala Dosha, the dosha is considered null and void. Therefore, the marriage will be quite happy.
  
  Your personal astrological chart should offer more details. For a remedy, you should know your specific information such as the time and location of both births.
