కుజ దోషం
Kuja Dosham (Manglik Dosha)
A condition in the birth chart where Mars occupies certain houses, believed to affect marriage.
Kuja Dosham (కుజ దోషం), also known as Manglik Dosha or Mangala Dosha, occurs when Mars (Kuja/Mangala) is placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house from the Lagna or Moon in the birth chart. It is one of the most commonly checked conditions in Telugu marriage matching.
The traditional belief is that Kuja Dosham can cause marital disharmony, delays in marriage, or challenges in the relationship. However, there are many exceptions and cancellations — for example, if Mars is in its own sign, is aspected by Jupiter, or if both partners have the dosha.
In Telugu families, Kuja Dosham is checked before finalizing a marriage alliance. If present, the astrologer may recommend remedies such as Kuja Shanti puja, donating red items, or matching with another Manglik person.
Frequently Asked Questions
