Mangal Puja Vidhi: How to Perform Mars Puja for Mangal Dosh
Quick Answer: How do I perform Mangal Puja to reduce Mangal Dosh? Mangal Puja is a Vedic ritual performed to pacify an afflicted or malefic Mars (Mangal Graha) in the birth chart - specifically to reduce the effects of Mangal Dosh. Perform the puja on a Tuesday (Mars's ruling day) at Brahma Muhurta (pre-dawn), facing South (Mars's cardinal direction). Gather the prescribed samagri: red flowers (marigold or hibiscus), red sandalwood (lal chandan), a copper vessel (tamba patra), red cloth, masoor dal (red lentils), jaggery (gur), and a Mangal Yantra. Conduct a full Panchopachar puja - Snan (purification), Vastra (red cloth offering), Gandha (red sandalwood), Pushpa (red flowers), and Dhoop-Deep (incense and lamp). Chant the Mangal Beej Mantra - Om Kraam Kreem Kraum Sah Bhaumaya Namah - minimum 108 times. Additionally, reciting the Hanuman Chalisa on Tuesday is one of the most effective Mangal upays in the North Indian tradition. मंगल की पूजा कैसे की जाती है?

In Vedic astrology, few planetary configurations attract as much concern in matters of marriage and relationships as Mangal Dosh - also called Manglik Dosh or Kuja Dosh. When Mars (Mangal) occupies specific houses in the birth chart, its fierce, fiery energy can manifest as friction in partnerships, delays in marriage, and heightened aggression in personal conduct. Mangal Puja is the prescribed Vedic ritual remedy: a structured worship of Mangal Graha, performed to pacify Mars, redirect its destructive energy into protective strength, and progressively reduce the dosh's intensity over time.
