The Mangal Dosh Nivaran Pooja is a sacred Hindu ritual performed to mitigate the effects of Mangal Dosh, also known as Mars Dosha or Kuja Dosha. “Mangal” refers to the planet Mars, and “Dosh” signifies affliction. According to Vedic astrology, the presence of Mangal Dosh in one’s birth chart can lead to challenges and obstacles in various aspects of life, particularly in matters of marriage and relationships. This pooja is conducted with the intention of seeking divine blessings and harmonizing the planetary energies associated with Mars.
