Key Questions Answered
Angaraki Chaturthi occurs when a Sankashti Chaturthi falls on a Tuesday, combining the blessings of Lord Ganesha and Lord Mars. This rare conjunction is believed to instantly neutralize severe Mangal Dosha (Mars defect) that causes delays or obstacles in marriages.
Devotees should visit a Ganesha temple in the morning or evening to offer vermilion and 21 blades of Durva grass. Afterwards, they should visit a Hanuman temple—since Hanuman is the lord of Mars—to offer vermilion and jasmine oil, which immediately removes the ill effects of Mars.
Take a clean red cloth and tie together a handful of red lentils, a piece of jaggery, and a copper or 1-rupee coin to make a bundle. Place this bundle in front of your home Ganesha idol to pray for marriage obstacles to clear, and then either immerse it in flowing water or donate it.
