Vivah Kundli Matching
Match two horoscopes for marriage the shastra way — the 36-guna Ashtakoota of the North and the 10-poruttham Dasa Porutham of the South, with full Nadi, Bhakoot and Mangal dosha analysis.
About
Matching done the shastra way
Kundli matching (Kundali Milan, Jataka Porutham) compares the birth charts of a prospective bride and groom to gauge marital compatibility. Two great traditions run in parallel across India: the eight-fold Ashtakoota Guna Milan of the North, and the ten-fold Dasa Porutham of the South.
Most free tools compute only the 36-guna Ashtakoota. We compute both, from the actual sidereal Moon and Mars positions of each birth, so a Tamil or Kerala family sees the poruttham they actually use — Rajju and Vedha included — alongside the guna score.
The eight kootas (36 gunas)
- Varna (1) — spiritual compatibility and ego balance
- Vashya (2) — mutual attraction and influence
- Tara / Dina (3) — health, fortune and longevity
- Yoni (4) — physical and instinctive compatibility
- Graha Maitri (5) — mental and psychological accord
- Gana (6) — temperament (Deva, Manushya, Rakshasa)
- Bhakoot (7) — family welfare and prosperity
- Nadi (8) — health and progeny (the gravest dosha)
The ten Dasa Porutham (South / Tamil)
Dina, Gana, Mahendra, Stree-Deergha, Yoni, Rasi, Rasyadhipathi and Vasya assess health, temperament, progeny, prosperity, harmony, family growth and attraction. The two decisive gates are Rajju — which safeguards the husband’s longevity — and Vedha, which flags obstructing nakshatra pairs. Failing either is traditionally a rejection.
Doshas and their cancellation
Beyond the score, we flag the three doshas that decide most matches: Nadi dosha (same Nadi), Bhakoot dosha (the 2/12, 5/9 and 6/8 axes), and Mangal (Manglik) dosha. Where the classical texts allow a parihara — a cancellation, such as the same nakshatra with different padas, friendly sign-lords, or both partners being Manglik — we show it explicitly rather than hiding the dosha.
FAQ
Kundli Matching — Frequently Asked Questions
Ashtakoota (“eight kootas”) is the North-Indian and generalized system that scores eight factors — Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi — out of a total of 36 gunas. 18 or more is traditionally considered acceptable, subject to the doshas.
Tamil Nadu, Kerala and much of the South use Dasa Porutham — ten poruttham such as Dina, Gana, Mahendra, Stree-Deergha, Yoni, Rasi, Rasyadhipathi, Vasya, Rajju and Vedha. Rajju and Vedha are treated as hard gates: if either fails, the match is traditionally rejected regardless of the other poruttham.
Mangal Dosha arises when Mars sits in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from the Lagna or the Moon. It is considered a concern for marriage, but it is cancelled in several cases — when both partners are Manglik, when Mars is in its own or exalted sign, retrograde, or under certain lagnas.
Yes. Accurate matching needs the Moon’s nakshatra and pada, and the Mars/Lagna positions for Mangal dosha — all of which depend on the birth time and place. We compute them from the real sidereal (Lahiri) positions for each birth.
No. Guna Milan is a guide, not a verdict. An astrologer weighs the full birth charts — the Navamsa (D9), planetary dashas, and the strength of the 7th house and its lord — before a final decision. Treat this tool as a well-grounded first check.
