Mangal Angarak Shanti Puja In Ujjain

About this puja

A Mangal Angarak Shanti puja at Angareshwar Mahadev Mandir or Mangalnath Temple, Ujjain, to appease Grah Mangal.

The Mangal Angarak Shanti Puja appeases Grah Mangal (Mars) and is performed to lessen the troubles attributed to it in a horoscope. Angarak Dosh is said to form when Mars and Rahu come together in a birth chart. It is linked with anger, quarrels, marriage and money problems, and sudden setbacks. The puja is held at Angareshwar Mahadev Mandir or Mangalnath Temple in Ujjain, a sacred moksha city blessed by the Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga. Devotees believe the setting helps pacify the energies of Mangal and Rahu. The sankalp is taken in the devotees' names first. Lord Ganesh is invoked with mantras and jaap to clear hurdles. The pujari then invokes and worships Grah Mangal, followed by Grah Rahu, with mantras. Aarti completes the puja. Devotees associate it with mental peace, steady relationships, protection from sudden losses and better career prospects.
