Mangal Dosh Calculator
Mangal Dosh (Kuja Dosha) is a classical placement where Mars sits in certain houses from your Lagna, Moon, or Venus — traditionally checked before marriage.
This calculator runs the real check, including the classical conditions that can cancel or reduce it, not just a simple yes/no based on Mars' house.

What is Mangal Dosh?
When Mars occupies the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house counted from your Lagna, Moon, or Venus, it's classically read as Mangal Dosh (also called Kuja Dosha or being "Manglik") — traditionally associated with friction in marriage and partnerships.
How this is calculated
Mars' placement from your Lagna, Moon, and Venus is weighed together into a single dosha score, factoring in the classical conditions that reduce or cancel it — Mars in its own or exalted sign, a house-specific exempt sign, Jupiter's conjunction or aspect, or Mars sharing a sign with the Moon — rather than a simple yes/no based on house placement alone.
Why cancellations matter
A simple "Mars is in house 7" check overstates how often Mangal Dosh actually applies in practice — many charts that technically qualify also carry one of the classical cancellations, which is why the score above (not just the raw placement) matters before drawing any conclusion.
