Navagraha related - Mangal or Kuja dosha and relief by worships

 Marriage problems

There are many problems  related to marriage. Some are the problem of not getting or finding a proper match and not getting married and some problems are the misunderstanding between the couple for various reasons sometimes even leading to divorce. Here we will consider the delay in getting married or not at all getting married.

There are several reasons for this. One of the main reason according to astrology is the Manglik (mangal dosha, chovva dosha or kuja dosha). According to astrologers if the planet Mars is in the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from the lagna (the house where the planet sun was at the time of birth) the horoscope is subject to mangal dosha. Though this is the general position there are several exceptions. Since it is an astrological subject, it is better for the astrologers to deal with it. In this article we will consider the parihara prescriptions (remedial measures) suggested to remove or reduce the effect of mangal (kuja) dosha. The main remedies prescribed are going to specified temples and doing appropriate worships. It is better to consult a competent astrologer in this matter.

Vaitheeswaran Temple
One of the very important temples for Chovva or Kuja or Mangal (Manglik) dosha parihara (remedy) is the Vaitheeswaran or Vaidhyanathaswamy (god of medicines) temple. This temple is dedicated to Vaitheswaran but is famous for the sub deity Angarakan / Kujan / Mangal / Chovva. This is a very old temple near to Myiladuthurai (14 km) on the way to Kumbhakonam (60km) and Chennai. This place is also very famous for Naadi jyothisham. By doing proper offerings and worship at this temple Manglik dosha is said to be removed. It is considered as the temple for Chovva / Kujan / Mangal. Within a radius of about 60 km around this there are other 8 temples to the remaining 8 grahas of the Navagrahas.



 Kailasnatha worship
Chovva or Kuja or Mangal (manglik) dosha is considered as an apprehensive or fearsome dosha just as Sani Dosha as per the horoscope positions. There is a temple abut 37 kn from Madurai. This temple is abdicated to Lord Siva as kailasanathar.

This temple is having Navagraha Prathishta (sub shrine for Navagrahas). The Navagrahas in this temple are tottally different from other Navagraha temples. Here the Navagrahas are in sitting posture.

By doing appropriate worship and offerings here it is believed that the Mangal/Kuja/Cevvai dosha will have relief.

Pazhani Andavar temple
 Offering worship at the Sri Subramanya (andava) temple at Pazhani is believed to bring relief to those who are affected by the kuja or chovva dosha.

Thirumanancheri
Thirumancheri a Tamil word means place of marriage. As per a legend goddess Parvathy consort of Lord Siva wanted to marry the lord once again in earth with both in the form of human beings. The wish was fulfilled at this place. The deities of Siva here is known as Kalyanasundareswarar, Uthvaanganathar and Arul Vallal and goddess Parvathy is known as Kokilaambal, also as 'Kuyilinmenmozhiammai'. This temple is near Myiladuthurai and Kumbakonam. Offering proper worship here is said to reduce kuja dosha and helps in getting married to good spouse.

There may several other such temples in other states also. As suggested earlier it is better to consult a competent astrologer.
