What is Mangal Dosh Puja?
Mangal Dosh Puja (Kuja Dosha Nivarana) is the remedy for Manglik dosha — Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house — with Kuja japam, Subramanya or Hanuman worship and dana, for harmony in marriage.
Manglik dosha is believed to cause delays in marriage and friction between spouses. Along with this puja, a Manglik bride may do Kumbh Vivah or Kadali Vivaham, and a groom Arka Vivaham, before the wedding.
