Ascendant basis: our Lagna follows a slightly different convention from Drik's, agreeing within about 0.3 degrees. A birth very close to a sign boundary can show a different rising sign. Planets and Panchang elements agree to under one arc-minute.
Dasha timing: our Vimshottari Dasha period boundaries agree with Drik's within a few days, not to the exact day. This comes from two documented sources: a tiny difference in the birth Moon's measured position that compounds across the full 120 year cycle, and a different classical year length the two engines use to lengthen each period (we use 365.25 days, Drik uses the sidereal year of about 365.256 days).
Cross-check these values against Drik Panchang for the same date, time, and place.
Mangal Dosha, sometimes called Manglik, is a traditional chart factor Vedic astrology describes when Mars sits in specific houses counted from the Moon, the Ascendant, or Venus. This calculator checks your chart for Mangal Dosha and reports whether it is present, along with the traditional detail behind that result.
Your birth details are sent to VedicShala's astrology calculation provider, which computes your Ascendant, Moon, Venus, and Mars positions and checks Mars's house placement against each of those three reference points, following the traditional Mangal Dosha rules. If Mangal Dosha is present, the calculator also reports the traditional percentage strength the calculation provider assigns, and whether a traditional cancellation factor applies, which can reduce that percentage. If Mars does not fall in any of the specified houses, the calculator reports that Mangal Dosha is not present, without further comment.
This is a well-documented chart pattern that traditional astrology has read for centuries. It is a placement to understand and plan around, the same way this site teaches every chart factor, not a verdict on a life or a relationship. Some traditions weigh Mangal Dosha specifically when comparing two charts for marriage compatibility, alongside many other factors, such as the Guna Milan score this site's Match Making calculator computes separately.
Enter your date, time, and place of birth into the form above. Your birth details are sent to our astrology calculation provider so it can compute your result; the provider discards those details afterward and we do not store them unless you choose to save the result to a free VedicShala account.
A traditional cancellation factor, when it applies, is itself a well-documented part of this same tradition, not a special exception invented to soften the result. Whether Mangal Dosha is present or not, this is one placement among many in a full chart, read alongside everything else a chart shows. Traditions vary somewhat in exactly which houses and cancellation rules they use, so treat this result as one traditional reading, not a single universal standard.
