In match-making, the most famous and vicious problem is Mangal Dosh. In reality, it is not called Mangal Dosh but Sumanglik Dosha. It means problems in auspicious events of married life. In other words, stoppage in something auspicious or good work is known as Mangal Dosh. This Dosh is known to be a very big problem in married life. A girl is considered to be a Mangalik, if the Mars is placed either in the 1, 4, 7, 8 or 12th house of her horoscope. A girl having a 'Mangalik Dosha' or 'Vishakanya Yoga' present in her horoscope has a threat of becoming a widow. A 'kumbha-Vivaha' is a must for such a girl.

Mangal Dosha Mala is designed to remove this Dosha. Made with a Gauri Shankar Rudraksha in the centre, supported by 3 beads of 3 mukhis on either sides. Gems used are Red Corals and Sphatik Crystals, which represent balancing energies of hot and cold. Silver spacers are used between the beads and the mala is designed as a Choker (necklace to be worn close to the neck).

Whenever Mars is situated in the 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 or 12th house of a Rashi or lunar chart (Moon chart), it is called as 'Manglik Dosha', 'Kuja Dosha', 'Bhom Dosha', 'Angaraka Dosha', or 'Manglik Dosh', in Vedic Astrology. This results in problems in married life or partnership situations. The person will also have to endure hardships in the marriage generated by the spouse, as the person with Kuja Dosha does not have the nature to victimize the spouse.

The mechanics of Kuja Dosha are such that it causes a person with Kuja Dosha to be attracted to a partner who by his/her very nature cannot blend or function compatibly for any great length of time with that person.

The most significant problem is that a person with a Kuja Dosha will not feel much physical attraction to another with Kuja Dosha.

This Dosha affects both married and unmarried people.

Remedy:
1. The way out of Kuja Dosha is for a person with Kuja Dosha to Marry another with Kuja Dosha.
2. If the first house is Aries or Mesha and Mars is in Aries, the Kuja Dosha is not effective as Aries is the Own House of Mars.
