Free Mangal Dosha (Manglik) Calculator
Mangal dosha arises when Mars occupies houses 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 or 12 of the birth chart. Our calculator checks all three classical reference points — Lagna, Moon and Venus — and applies the cancellation rules most sites skip.
Roughly one in three charts is technically manglik from at least one reference point — which is exactly why the cancellation (bhanga) rules matter. Mars in its own signs (Aries, Scorpio), Mars exalted in Capricorn, or Jupiter’s aspect on Mars are classical cancellations, and two manglik partners neutralise each other.
Traditions differ: North Indian practice often checks from Lagna and Moon; South Indian practice adds Venus and counts the 2nd house. We show the result from each reference separately so you can see exactly why the verdict is what it is.
A manglik result is not a life sentence — classical texts treat it as a compatibility factor to be weighed in matching, alongside the 36 gunas. Our kundli matching report does this automatically for both partners.
FAQ
Which houses cause Mangal dosha?
Mars in houses 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 or 12 — counted from the Lagna, the Moon, and (in southern tradition) Venus. The 2nd house is included in South Indian practice.
Can Mangal dosha be cancelled?
Yes. Classical cancellations include Mars in own sign (Aries/Scorpio) or exaltation (Capricorn), Jupiter aspecting Mars, and both partners being manglik. Our calculator checks these automatically.
Is a manglik person forbidden from marrying a non-manglik?
Tradition advises weighing it as one factor among many — including the full 36-guna match and the severity and cancellations of the dosha. It is a caution flag, not a prohibition.
