About Mangalnath Temple, Ujjain
Ujjain is one of the seven moksha-puris, and Mangalnath sits at its quieter northern edge where the Kshipra bends past the old ashram quarter. The Shivling here is worshipped as Mangalnath — Shiva as the lord of the planet Mangal.
The link with Mars is older than the present building. Indian astronomers placed the prime meridian of their calculations through Ujjain, and the city lies close to the Tropic of Cancer. Tradition holds that Mangal was observed from this very rise above the river.
That is why a puja for Mangal performed here carries a meaning it cannot have elsewhere: the graha is worshipped at the place of his own origin. People with Manglik charts travel from every state, and many return for the Bhaat Puja once the wedding is done.

Why is Mangalnath Mandir linked with Mangal Dosh Puja?
