Mangal Dosha Nivaran Puja

The Mangal Dosha Nivaran Puja is a traditional Vedic ritual for Manglik (Mangal) Dosha, performed in your name with Mangal mantras, Hanuman worship and a havan. Mangal Dosha is present when Mars sits in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house, and it is traditionally checked before marriage.

How is the Mangal Dosha Nivaran Puja performed?

It is performed on your behalf, usually on a Tuesday, with a sankalpa in your name, so you don’t need to be present. Arjun first confirms from your chart that the dosha is actually present and not cancelled, then the priests perform the ritual and you receive confirmation once it is complete.

Frequently asked questions

Does Mangal Dosha mean I shouldn’t marry?

No. Mangal Dosha is common, and classical texts list many conditions that cancel or soften it, including when both partners are Manglik. It is one factor to weigh, not a verdict.

Do I need this puja if my dosha is cancelled?

Usually not. If the dosha is cancelled in your chart, Arjun will tell you and won’t recommend the puja.

Can it be done after marriage?

Yes. Couples sometimes choose it after marriage for peace of mind, especially during a Mars Dasha.
