Mythology & Significance
Significance in mythology
Temples to Mangal Graha are scarce. At Amalner, a sindoor-smeared four-armed Mangal Dev is worshipped as Angaraka — planet of courage, energy, and justice. Devotees arrive especially for Tuesday seva and mangal-dosha shanti, seeking steadiness in marriage vows and life force. Local memory holds the shrine as ancient; modern seva revived it after decades of neglect.
