Arkh Vivah (Male) Puja
When the combination in the horoscope is not favorable for marriage and indicates problems with the health or longevity of the couple, then Ark Vivah puja is suggested. During this, the bride is first married to an Ark Tree and then with the groom to take away bad effects due to doshas in the horoscope.
This puja is done to get a happy marriage life if someone is affected by mangal dosh. Kumbh vivah is a combination of two words Kumbh which means a pot and vivah means marriage.
The highest degree of this Manglik dosh is formed when mars are placed in ascendant or the seventh house. These two placements form the two most severe Manglik dosh out of which placement in seventh is the most severe of all. Next in severity in decreasing order comes mars in the eighth house, then the fourth, and then the twelfth house. In addition to mars, Sun, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu's placement in the houses mentioned above also forms partial Manglik dosh.
