Mangalnath Temple Ujjain – Birthplace of Mangal Graha (Mars)
Mangalnath Temple in Ujjain is a unique shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva, revered as the sacred birthplace of the planet Mars (Mangal) according to the Matsya Purana. Legend holds that during Lord Shiva’s fierce battle with the demon Andhakasura, a drop of sweat fell to earth and formed the Shiva Linga enshrined here. As the only temple in the world devoted to Lord Mangala, it holds deep astrological significance and was historically used for studying the red planet due to its clear vantage point.
People with Manglik Dosha in their horoscopes visit to seek relief through dedicated rituals and offerings to Lord Mangal on Tuesdays, considered most auspicious kaalchakra.in. Red flowers, curd rice, and chants to the Mangal Beej Mantra are common offerings. A serene shrine set on a hillock by the Shipra River, it offers panoramic views and a tranquil ambiance—best enjoyed during early morning or evening visits for peaceful darshan and divine blessings.
