Gulika
Gulika is an Upagraha, a satellite, that is related to Saturn. It is a theoretical point, and its position is mathematically determined for predictive purposes. Gulika, which is also known as ‘maandi,’ is the offspring of Manda or son of Saturn. It is an imitative planet according to the notion in South India particularly in Kerala. A few consider Gulika and Maandi as diverse concepts.
Importance of Saturn in Astrology

Power:
Maandi is the most harmful planet among imitative planets particularly when it is related to Saturn. The lord of the sign is in use by Maandi, which turns malefic. Astrological works discover the impressions of Maandi in all houses as well as in connection with other planets.
The reference to certain invisible satellites in the Jyothisha Phala Bhagam is Kala, Paridhi, Dhuna, Ardhaprahara, Yamakandaka, Indrachapa, Maandi, Vruthipatha and Upakethu. Besides, Ushnashikha, Vishti, and Ekargalam are also considered during result-oriented periods.
