Mangal Dosha (Manglik)
What it is
The widely-checked marriage-compatibility factor: Mars placed in houses held sensitive for partnership is traditionally matched against the other chart or remedied.
Formation rule
Mars occupies the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house counted from the Lagna, from the Moon, or from Venus.
What our engine checks
All three reference points (Lagna, Moon, Venus) are checked and each hit is reported separately. Mars in its own sign, moolatrikona or exaltation softens the dosha and is flagged.
Severity grading
High when two or more reference points are hit and Mars is not dignified; low when Mars is dignified; medium otherwise; none when no house is hit.
Source & honesty note
Standard Manglik convention (the 6-house rule from Lagna/Moon/Venus, with dignity softening) — a matchmaking CONVENTION widely followed across schools; also applied by our Kundli Milan feature.
Tendency-scoped reading only: a dosha is a factor to weigh, not a verdict on a life. Cancellation and remediation depend on the whole chart and are traditionally assessed by a qualified astrologer.
