Mangal Yantra

The Mangal Yantra (also known as Mars Yantra) is a sacred geometric diagram used in Hinduism to invoke the energies of the planet Mars (Mangal Graha). Mars is considered a powerful planet, associated with strength, courage, energy, and determination. Worshipping the Mangal Yantra is believed to reduce the negative effects of Mars in one’s life, increase vitality, and remove obstacles.

Design of the Mangal Yantra

The Mangal Yantra consists of several elements:

1. Central Point (Bindu): Represents the source of cosmic energy.

2. Circle: Surrounding the center, symbolizing the infinite and all-encompassing nature of the planet Mars.

3. Nine Intersecting Triangles: These are arranged in a specific pattern to enhance the positive qualities of Mars and remove negativity.

4. Mantra to Chant with the Yantra:

   To enhance the effects of the Mangal Yantra, chanting specific mantras is often done. The most common mantra is:
