“Angaaraganai vazhipattal thirumana yogam nichayam” is a Tamil saying: “if you worship Angaraka (Mars), the fortune of marriage is certain.” Vazhipattal means worshipping — not the 7th house. It refers to Sevvai (Chevvai) dosham, the Mars affliction believed to delay marriage, and to the tradition of Tuesday worship of Mars as its remedy.
How the yoga forms
- Angaaraganai — Angaraka, a name of Mars (Sevvai).
- Vazhipattal — by worshipping.
- Thirumana yogam — the fortune or yoga of marriage.
- Nichayam — certain.
It is a devotional saying, not the name of a planetary combination.
Sevvai dosham: how to check it
- Mars in the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from the lagna, the Moon or Venus is the usual definition in South Indian practice (North Indian practice often uses the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th and 12th).
- Many cancellations apply — Mars in its own sign (Aries, Scorpio) or exaltation (Capricorn), Jupiter’s aspect, both partners having it, and others.
- Check the dosha in both charts during matching; see guna milan explained.
Traditional worship
- Tuesday worship of Murugan or Hanuman, who are linked with Mars in Tamil and North Indian traditions.
- The Angaraka mantra “Om Kraam Kreem Kraum Sah Bhaumaya Namah” or the Angaraka stotram on Tuesdays.
- Charity of red lentils (thuvaram paruppu / masoor) or red cloth on Tuesdays.
- Fasting on Tuesdays where health allows.
Worship supports patience and confidence; the timing of marriage itself is read from the 7th house, Venus (or Jupiter) and the dasha.
