About this kumbh vivah / Aak vivah
Kumbh Vivah (also known as Aak Vivah or Ark Vivah) is a traditional Vedic remedial ritual in which a person is symbolically married to a pot (kumbh) or the Aak plant before entering a human marriage. In classical Jyotish, this ceremony is traditionally prescribed by astrologers for individuals whose birth chart contains certain specific planetary combinations — most notably the Manglik dosha or other configurations believed to affect marital harmony. The ritual is conducted by qualified priests with proper Vedic mantras and ceremonial procedure. The symbolic union is considered to neutralise or absorb the astrological dosha before the actual wedding takes place, according to classical remedial traditions. Families traditionally seek this ceremony on the advice of a qualified Jyotish practitioner after careful analysis of the individual's horoscope.

Astrological significance
In Vedic astrology, Kumbh Vivah is a classical remedial measure (parihara) traditionally associated with the planet Mars (Mangal). When Mars occupies certain houses in the birth chart, the resulting Manglik dosha is believed in the tradition to create friction in marital life. The symbolic marriage ritual is believed to absorb this planetary influence before the individual enters matrimony. A qualified Jyotish expert should always examine the birth chart to confirm whether this remedy is appropriate, as the severity and nature of such yogas vary considerably from chart to chart.
