Mangal Dosh Nivaran Puja

Description

Mangal Dosh Nivaran Puja is a ritual performed in Vedic astrology to mitigate the negative effects of Mangal Dosha (Mars affliction) in one’s horoscope. Mangal Dosha occurs when Mars is positioned in specific houses (1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th) in a person’s natal chart, often believed to cause challenges in marital harmony, delays in marriage, health issues, or financial instability.

• Deity Worshiped: Lord Kartikeya (Murugan), Lord Hanuman, and Lord Shiva are often invoked as they represent Mars energy.
• Procedure:
  1. Recitation of Vedic mantras like the Mangal Beej Mantra: “Om Kraam Kreem Kraum Sah Bhaumaya Namah”.
  2. Offerings such as red flowers, red clothing, jaggery, and red lentils to the deity.
  3. Havan (fire ritual) to invoke Mars’ blessings.
