Remedies
The rituals, gemstones, fasts and pujas an astrologer may prescribe to offset a dosha in a match.
When a match carries nadi, bhakoot, gana or mangal dosha, an astrologer may prescribe remedies (upay): a specific puja, a fast on a weekday, a gemstone, a donation, or in the manglik case the kumbh vivah — a symbolic first marriage to a pot or tree. Families vary from taking these seriously to treating them as a courtesy that lets a match proceed.
They are a way of saying yes to a match the charts said maybe to, which is most of what they are for.
