About Mangal Dosh Nivaran Puja
Mangal Dosh Nivaran Puja is performed for individuals whose birth chart shows Mars (Mangal) placed in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house. This condition, commonly known as Manglik Dosh, is believed to cause delays in marriage, marital conflicts, and other relationship challenges. The puja involves worship of Lord Hanuman and Mars to mitigate these effects and bring harmony to married life.

Puja Process
Ganesh Puja, Mangal Graha Puja, Hanuman Puja, Mangal mantra jaap (10,000 times), Havan, and Daan
Best Time to Perform
Tuesdays, Mangal Hora, or Hanuman Jayanti
Why that vara
Tuesday is Mangal's own vara, and Hanuman is Mars's deity — which is why a Mangal remedy and a Hanuman observance are usually the same thing. The Mangal hora on a Tuesday is the strongest window of the week for it, being Mars's hour on Mars's day.
Not begun in Rahu Kaal, and a full muhurat for your date and city has to satisfy the nakshatra, yoga and karana too.
The Graha Behind Mangal Dosh Nivaran Puja
Graha
Mars (Mangal, मंगल)
Vara
Tuesday
Deity
Hanuman, and Kartikeya
Mantra
Om Mangalaya Namah
Graha Shanti japa
10,000 repetitions
Governs
Energy, courage, siblings, property
The japa count is fixed rather than arbitrary: 10,000 for Mars, between 7,000 for the Sun and 23,000 for Saturn. Larger figures are a purascharana — japa, then homa at a tenth of it, then tarpana at a tenth of that.
Mars in Vedic astrology →Items Required (Samagri)
Red flowers
Mars's colour throughout: the flowers, the cloth and the lentils donated afterwards are all red, which is the standard way a graha's offerings are chosen.
Red cloth
The yantra is set on red and the murti draped in it. It is also what the coral is wrapped in before it is worn.
Coral gemstone
Moonga is Mars's stone. It is placed in the puja rather than worn from it — a coral strengthens Mars unconditionally, which is the wrong thing to do if Mars is already the strongest planet in the chart.
Sindoor
Hanuman is offered sindoor in oil, and the tradition that he applied it himself is the reason a Hanuman murti is orange rather than dressed.
Mangal Yantra
Holds the mantra count. The classical Graha Shanti japa for Mars is 10,000, which is where the figure on this page comes from.
Samagri is supplied with the booking. Substitutions are normal and regional; the item a rite is defined by is the one that is never substituted.
Worth being clear about
A great many charts are called manglik by calculators that apply the rule mechanically. Classical texts list a long set of cancellations — Mars in its own sign or exalted, Mars aspected by Jupiter, both charts manglik — and a dosha that is cancelled needs no remedy. Have the placement read before treating it.
