Manglik Dosha Calculator
Manglik (or Kuja) Dosha is one of the most widely discussed conditions in Vedic astrology — Mars placed in the **1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house** counted from your Lagna, your Moon, or Venus. This calculator checks all three reference points independently on your single chart and reports exactly which one(s) qualify.
Ayanamsa: Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) · Rule (BPHS): Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house from Lagna, the Moon, or Venus (checked independently)

What Manglik Dosha Is
These six houses touch marriage, family, and shared resources most directly, so Mars's naturally fiery, assertive energy placed there is classically read as a caution flag for marital friction — not a fixed prediction, but a factor worth accounting for in marriage timing and partner selection.
Why Three Different Reference Points Are Checked
Classical practice checks Mars's house position not just from the Lagna, but also counted from the Moon and from Venus independently — a chart can be Manglik from any one of these three references even if it clears the other two, which is why this calculator reports all three explicitly.
Why Strength (Not Just Presence) Matters
This calculator distinguishes "strong" Manglik (triggered from the Lagna reckoning specifically) from "moderate" (triggered only via the Moon and/or Venus reference) — a distinction many practicing astrologers weigh when assessing just how significant the condition is for a specific chart.
