In astrology, Mars, also known as Mangal, is considered the planet of power, strength, courage, and aggression. It is seen as a cruel planet and is associated with the color red. Mars is also a god in Hinduism and is often depicted as a handsome youth with four arms, carrying a trident and mace. In terms of marriage, the position of Mars is considered important as it signifies passion, husband, and marital knot. The placement of Mars in certain houses, such as the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th, is said to lead to the Mangalik Dosh, which can cause delays in marriage and dissatisfaction in married life. Those with a Manglik Kundli are advised to perform a specific mangal dosh puja ujjain before marriage.
