We obtain solutions for steady plane MHD flow through porous media when velocity and magnetic vectors are constantly and variably inclined and the magnitude of the magnetic vector is constant on each individual stream line in the magnetograph plane. It is shown that the path of magnetic and velocity vectors are circles congruency to each other . Also flow analysis is carried out by writing the expression of Legendre transformation in polar co-ordinates. It is shown that solutions obtained agree with the graphs.
