Manglik Dosha API

Manglik Dosha

Detects and analyses the Manglik Dosha (also known as Mangal Dosha or Kuja Dosha) in a person's Vedic birth chart, based on their birth date, time, and geographic location.

What this API does

In Vedic astrology, Manglik Dosha is one of the most widely referenced afflictions, particularly in the context of marriage compatibility. It occurs when Mars (Mangal) is placed in certain houses of the birth chart — traditionally the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house — from the Lagna (Ascendant), Moon, or Venus. This placement is believed to introduce intensity, conflict, and challenges in marital and partnership dynamics.

This endpoint computes the position of Mars in the birth chart for the given birth data, evaluates the Manglik Dosha conditions across the relevant reference points, and returns a clear determination of whether the dosha is present along with supporting interpretive details.

What data it returns

The API returns a structured JSON response containing:

• Dosha presence: A clear indication of whether Manglik Dosha is present in the birth chart
• Dosha level: The degree or intensity of the dosha (e.g., high Manglik, low Manglik, or non-Manglik), reflecting how strongly Mars's placement activates the affliction
• Mars house position: The house occupied by Mars in the birth chart, which is the primary determinant of the dosha
• Reference point analysis: Assessment of the dosha from multiple reference points (Lagna, Moon, Venus) as per classical rules
• Cancellation (Dosha Bhanga): Whether any classical cancellation conditions apply that neutralise or reduce the dosha's effect
• Interpretive description: A textual explanation of the dosha's significance, its potential effects on relationships and marriage, and relevant astrological context
