Manglik Dosha

Manglik Dosha (also known as Kuja Dosha) is technically a dosha rather than a yoga, formed when Mars occupies certain houses associated with marriage and partnerships. It is believed to create discord, delays, or intensity in marital life. However, numerous cancellation conditions exist, and matching two Manglik charts is a traditional remedy in marriage compatibility.
