Manglik Dosh Nivaran Pooja is a ritual performed to alleviate the negative effects of Manglik Dosh, which occurs when Mars (Mangal) is positioned in certain houses of an individual's birth chart. This dosha is often associated with challenges in marriage, relationships, and overall harmony. For women, a common practice to mitigate Manglik Dosh is the ritual of Kumbh Vivah (marriage to a pot), which symbolizes marrying an inanimate object to neutralize the dosha before marrying a person.
