Mangal is the graha associated with courage, energy, siblings, land and property. This page gathers the remedies traditionally used for Mangal: its gemstone, the 3 mukhi rudraksha, the Mangal yantra, bracelets and other sacred items. Each is selected under Pt. Rahul Kaushl.
Mangal in Vedic astrology
The Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra describes each graha by the signs it rules, the sign of its exaltation and debilitation, and what it signifies in a chart. A well-placed Mangal supports these areas of life; an afflicted one is strengthened or pacified with the remedies below.

Mangal dosha
Mangal dosha, also called being manglik, is read when Mangal occupies certain houses from the lagna or the Moon, most often the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th. It is assessed mainly for marriage matching, and many charts carry cancellations, so it should be judged from the full chart rather than feared.
Remedies for Mangal
- Mantra: Om Kraam Kreem Kraum Sah Bhaumaya Namah, chanted 108 times, ideally on Tuesday.
- Gemstone: Red Coral (Moonga), worn only after a chart check, since a gemstone strengthens its planet for better or worse. A gentler, more affordable choice is carnelian.
- Rudraksha: the 3 mukhi rudraksha, linked with Mangal in modern practice.
- Yantra: the Mangal yantra or a Navagraha yantra, installed on Tuesday in Shukla Paksha.
- Daan and conduct: charity and steady conduct on Tuesday are the simplest traditional remedies, and they need no purchase.
Whether Mangal needs strengthening or pacifying depends on your chart. Consult Pt. Rahul Kaushl before choosing a gemstone.
