Introduction: For Action, Courage, and Calm Strength
There comes a time when thought must give way to action—when delay becomes your enemy and strength your greatest ally. This is where the energy of Mars, known as Mangal, steps in. When this planetary influence is too weak or too wild, it can manifest in your life as fatigue, lowered immunity, anger, or a tendency toward hesitation or impulsive risk-taking.
The ancient antidote is a sacred, ocean-born gem: Pavla, also called Moonga or Red Coral.
What Is a Pavla Stone?
- Hindi Name: पवला (Pavla)
- Sanskrit Name: Moonga (मूंगा)
- Planet: Mars (Mangal)
- Source: Organic, formed by sea corals
- Color Range: Blood red to orange-red
- Structure: Opaque, with a soft glow
- Hardness: 3.5 (soft, so handle with care)
Benefits of Wearing Pavla (Red Coral)
Wearing Pavla can support and enhance various aspects of your life:
- Physical: Supports blood circulation, immunity, and stamina.
- Mental: Enhances focus, courage, and the will to act.
- Emotional: Balances aggression into assertive confidence and reduces fear, hesitation, and self-doubt.
- Professional: Boosts energy and action in fields like leadership, military, medicine, or strategy.
Pavla is not meant to calm you down. It’s meant to steady your inner fire.
Who Should Wear Pavla?
Pavla is recommended for:
- Individuals with an Aries (Mesh) or Scorpio (Vrischik) Lagna or Rashi.
- Those with Mars placed in the 3rd, 6th, or 10th houses of their astrological chart.
- People currently undergoing Mangal Mahadasha or Antardasha.
- Those in professions such as the army, sports, surgery, mechanics, or other strategy and decision-making roles.
Note: Avoid wearing Pavla if Mars is debilitated or combust without proper astrological testing.
How to Wear a Pavla Stone
To maximize the stone’s benefits, follow these guidelines:
- Metal: Silver or copper
- Finger: Ring finger (right hand for men, left for women)
- Day: Tuesday (Mangalwar)
- Weight: 5 to 8 carats (or as per body weight)
- Purification: Soak in a mix of tulsi leaves and raw milk before wearing.

How to Check If Your Pavla Is Real
To ensure the authenticity of your stone:
- Always ask for certification (IGI, GTL, or IGITL are preferred).
- Examine the stone under magnification for a soft, natural texture.
- A genuine Pavla has a natural glow, not a glassy shine.
- Be cautious of reds that appear too bright; they are often dyed or plastic.
