Mangal Dosha, also known as Kuja Dosha or Chevvai Dosham (in Tamil), is an astrological condition in Vedic astrology that occurs when Mars (Mangal or Kuja) is positioned in certain houses of the birth chart. The traditionally affected houses are the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, and 12th - though different regional traditions include varying combinations. Mangal Dosha is among the most consulted astrological conditions in Indian marriage matching. According to a 2019 survey, approximately 40-45% of Indian horoscopes contain some form of Mangal Dosha, making it one of the most common factors raised during Kundali Milan.
Mars in the 7th house (directly affecting the spouse karaka) and 8th house (longevity and hidden matters) are considered high-intensity placements. The 1st and 4th houses are classified as moderate, while some schools consider 2nd and 12th house Mars as mild or partial Mangal Dosha. The intensity directly influences how seriously families weigh the condition during marriage matching. When both partners are Mangalik (have Mangal Dosha), the doshas are believed to cancel each other out - a principle known as "Dosha Samapta."
Several classical cancellation rules (dosha nivarana) exist - including Mars being in its own sign (Aries or Scorpio), Mars in an exalted position, or specific combinations with benefic planets.
