Is it actually formed — and is it cancelled? All 8 classical rules checked.
Mangal Dosha (also called Kuja Dosha, or being "Manglik") is a chart condition formed when Mars sits in specific houses from the Ascendant, Moon, or Venus. It's one of the most-asked-about factors before Indian marriages. Enter your birth details to check whether it's actually present in your chart — and whether it's already cancelled by one of the classical exceptions.

When Mangal Dosha forms
The dosha is considered formed when Mars occupies the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house counted from the Ascendant, the Moon, or Venus. Its intensity is generally graded by how many of those three reference points show the affliction at once — checking from all three charts, rather than the Ascendant alone, is what separates a careful reading from a rough one.
Cancellations most people never get told about
Classical texts list several conditions that fully or partly cancel Mangal Dosha — for example Mars sitting in its own sign or in exaltation in the afflicted house, or the affliction appearing identically in both partners' charts (which cancels each other out in matchmaking). This is exactly why a raw "Manglik: yes/no" answer without checking cancellations can be misleading, and why this calculator checks all 8 classical rules rather than stopping at the house placement alone.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know if I have Mangal Dosha?
Check where Mars sits from your Ascendant, Moon and Venus — if it falls in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from any of those three points, some degree of Mangal Dosha is present. This calculator does that check automatically from your birth details.
Which house placement of Mars is worst for marriage?
The 7th house is classically considered the most sensitive placement for marriage specifically, since it's the house of partnership itself.
What cancels Mangal Dosha?
Common cancellations include Mars being in its own sign or exalted in the afflicted house, aspects from certain benefics, and both partners in a match sharing the same dosha. A full check needs all three reference charts, not the Ascendant alone.
Is Mangal Dosha the same as Kuja Dosha?
Yes — Mangal and Kuja are both names for Mars in Sanskrit, so Mangal Dosha and Kuja Dosha refer to the exact same chart condition.
