In astrology, Kumbh marriage is the rule for removing Manglik Dosha. In the case of dangerous Manglik, this marriage is considered very important. When Mars is very powerful in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th position in someone's horoscope, then the person is called a very strong Manglik. This also affects his marriage. In such a case, Kumbh Vivah is performed for such a person to ensure the effect of Mars in marriage.
Before the marriage of the bride and groom, the 7th house of the horoscope is examined in detail and when the effect of Mangal Dosh is on the 7th house, then this dosha is called Manglik Dosh.
In such a case, if the bride and groom are affected by Manglik Dosh or any other Dosh and due to this the marriage is likely to break, then after looking at the horoscope, they are advised to have Kumbh Vivah.
What is Vivah Puja?
When a girl's birth chart shows the presence of a "Widowhood Dosha" (Vidhwa Yoga), it is believed that performing the Kumbh Vivah ritual can help eliminate this dosha.
According to astrology, if a girl with this dosha gets married without performing the Kumbh Vivah, her husband may face an untimely death, making her a widow. To avoid such circumstances, Kumbh Vivah is considered a necessary and important puja.
Kumbh Vivah is done with proper rituals. When a girl's birth chart shows signs of two marriages, Kumbh Vivah is performed to remove any negative effects and ensure a smooth married life.
Kumbh Vivah has special importance in Trimbakeshwar. It is believed that one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, Trimbakeshwar Jyotirlinga, is established here and the Tridev Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh are seated here.
Kumbh Vivah Puja Vidhi
The puja starts with a vow called Swasti Vachan and then Lord Ganesha is worshipped with flowers, kumkum and akshata. Before the Kumbh Vivah, an idol of Lord Vishnu is placed in a clay pot and worshipped. After that, Lord Agni is invited and a lamp is lit.
To remove Manglik Dosha, the girl is first married to Lord Vishnu, represented by an idol placed in a clay pot. The Kumbh Vivah ritual is simple, where the girl is formally married with wedding items. After the marriage is completed, the idol of Lord Vishnu is immersed in a water body. This marks the completion of the Kumbh Vivah ritual.
