Manglik Dosha

Manglik (Mangal or Kuja) Dosha arises when Mars occupies certain houses in the chart, traditionally counted from both the Lagna (ascendant) and the Moon. This reading finds Mars's whole-sign house from each reference and grades the dosha as No, Low or High — using the same authoritative logic as the RishiAstro matchmaking engine.

It's a key factor astrologers weigh in marriage compatibility, alongside Gun Milan.

How to read your result

Mars in a dosha house (1, 4, 7, 8, 12 — the North Indian set) from BOTH the Lagna and the Moon is graded High; from just one, Low; from neither, No dosha.

The South Indian (Sevvai / Chevvai) convention additionally counts the 2nd house — the result notes which house set was used.

How it's calculated

Computed from Mars's sidereal (Lahiri) position and your Lagna and Moon signs. The grade defers to the engine's manglik_grade scorer — the same one used for kundli matching, so it's consistent with your match report.
