Mangal Dosh Nivaran Puja (Manglik Puja)
A Mangal Graha Shanti puja traditionally performed when Manglik or Mangal Dosha is identified in the kundli, especially before marriage, using sankalp, Mangal worship, mantra-japa and havan.
Definitions of Manglik Dosha differ across Jyotish schools, so this service begins with kundli verification rather than assuming that every marriage delay is caused by Mars. The ritual usually includes Ganesh puja, sankalp, Navagraha and Mangal avahan, Mangal mantra-japa, red-coloured offerings and a shanti havan. Hanuman or Shiva worship may be added according to the officiating pandit’s tradition. Choose it if an astrologer has confirmed Mangal placement in your chart, whether before marriage or as general Mars graha shanti.
