Mars (Mangal)

Since, the planets represent the source of our energy, they are highly important in our lives. Mars is among the outer planets. This planet takes rounds of the Sun but in the outer circle with different pace with that of the Earth. Apart from Mars, there is Venus which can appear occasionally in the inner circle of Sun and Earth. Meanwhile, moon also appears in the inner circle on several occasion.

The color of Mars is red, and its light is ruddy. Because it illuminates at night, everyone can see it without fail. It can easily be differentiated.

Mars, also known as Mangal, is called Bhoomi putra in Hindu mythology as he is the son of planet Earth. When you will go into the ancient literature of Hindu mythology, you will find Mangal with the name of Angaraka. He is also recognised as Kartikeya who is the god of war.
