According to Matsya Purana, Mangalnath Mandir Ujjain Madhya Pradesh is the place of birth of Mangal or Mars. The legend states that planet Mars was born at this place,  out of Lord Shiva’s perspiration which fell on earth when he was fighting a fierce battle with a powerful evil force. Since his son took birth during a moment of fierceness and rage, he was born with a red hue. Hence, the temple got its name Mangalnath from the Sanskrit name of planet Mars, Mangal.
