Kumbh Vivah in Ujjain
Kumbh Vivah is associated with "Manglik Dosha" or "Manglik Yog," a condition in astrology where Mars is placed in certain houses (1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, and 12th) of the horoscope, particularly the seventh house, which is related to marriage. According to Vedic astrology, the influence of Mars in this house can have negative effects on marriage. While around 40% of horoscopes show Manglik Yog, only 10-12% actually suffer from its severe effects, determined through a detailed horoscope study. People with strong Manglik Dosha are advised to perform Kumbh Vivah as a remedy to protect themselves from divorce and marital issues.
What is Ark Vivah?
Ark Vivah is a ritual performed to remove marriage delays or defects for men. Before a man gets married to a woman, he symbolically marries the "Ark" tree (Calotropis plant), considered the daughter of the Sun. This helps remove obstacles related to marriage in the man’s horoscope.
Who should perform Ark Vivah?
Men whose horoscopes show afflictions in the 7th or 12th house by malefic planets, or those with Venus, the Sun, the ruler of the 7th or 12th house, or Mars in these houses, should undergo Ark Vivah to remove delays and obstacles in marriage.
Why Kumbh Vivah is Needed?
The logic behind Kumbh Vivah is that if one's first marriage is destined to end in a breakup, marrying a clay pot (Kumbh) first can symbolically end this marriage. Once the pot is broken, it is considered that the first marriage has ended, and any future marriage will be considered the second marriage, which bypasses the adverse effects of Manglik Dosha. During Kumbh Vivah, the girl is married to a clay pot through all the Vedic rituals, and after the ceremony, the pot is broken.
What is Kumbh Vivah?
Kumbh Vivah is performed to resolve delays or defects in a woman’s marriage. Before marrying a man, the woman symbolically marries a Kumbh (a clay pot) in which Lord Vishnu is believed to reside. This removes all obstacles related to her marriage.
Who should perform Kumbh Vivah?
Women with afflictions in the 7th or 12th house in their horoscopes by malefic planets, or those with Venus, the Sun, the ruler of the 7th or 12th house, or Mars in these houses, should undergo Kumbh Vivah to remove delays and obstacles in their marriage.
Importance of Kumbh and Ark Vivah
Manglik Dosha is one of the most significant defects considered in marriage. It is commonly believed that individuals with Manglik Dosha should marry those with a similar dosha. However, this is not always correct, as it may amplify the negative effects. If one of the partners is above the age of 30 or if their horoscope contains planets like Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, or the Sun in certain positions, Manglik Dosha becomes negligible. In such cases, even if the other person’s horoscope does not show Manglik Dosha, it may not have a significant impact. If none of these conditions apply, performing Kumbh or Ark Vivah before the actual marriage is essential to ensure a happy and prosperous marital life.
What if Both Bride and Groom Have Manglik Dosha?
If both the bride and groom have Manglik Dosha but one has Mars in an exalted position and the other has Mars in a debilitated position, it is advisable not to proceed with the marriage. Similarly, if Mars in either horoscope is between 29 to 0 degrees, Manglik Dosha becomes less effective.
