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.

Mangal Nath Mandir Ujjain — common questions

Where is Mangal Nath Mandir in Ujjain?

Mangalnath Mandir stands on Ankpat Marg off Agar Road, on the bank of the Kshipra river, a short drive from the centre of Ujjain. Autos, e-rickshaws and cabs from the railway station and the bus stand all know it by name.

Why is Mangalnath Mandir linked with Mangal Dosh Puja?

The Matsya Purana names this place as the birthplace of Mangal (Mars). Because the graha himself is worshipped here in the form of a Shivling, families from across India choose Mangalnath for Mangal Dosh Puja and Mangal Bhaat Puja.

How do I book a puja at Mangalnath Mandir?

Call +91 90099 66761 with the birth details of the person the puja is for. The pandit reads the kundli, suggests the puja and a muhurat, and tells you the dakshina before the date is fixed.

Which pujas can be booked here?

Mangal Dosh Nivaran Puja, Mangal Bhaat Puja, Kaal Sarp Dosh Puja, Navgraha Shanti Puja and Mahamrityunjaya Jaap. If you are not sure which one applies, share the kundli first and the pandit will advise.

Do I have to bring the puja samagri?

No. Samagri for the booked puja is arranged at the temple. You only need to arrive on time, in clean traditional clothes, with the family members who will sit for the sankalp.

Is Tuesday the only day for Mangal puja?

Tuesday is Mangal's own day and is the most requested, but the puja is performed on other days as well. The muhurat drawn from the chart matters more than the weekday.
