Tamil Marriage Porutham
Jathagam porutham the Tamil way — the ten Dasa Porutham matched from the bride and groom’s birth stars, with Rajju and Vedha treated as the hard gates that South-Indian families actually rely on.
About
Jathagam porutham, computed the shastra way
Tamil marriage matching (thirumana porutham, jathagam porutham) compares the bride’s and groom’s horoscopes through the ten Dasa Porutham. Unlike a simple guna score, the Tamil system leans on gates: Rajju and Vedha can reject an otherwise agreeable match outright.
We compute all ten porutham from the actual sidereal (Lahiri) birth-star positions of each person — not a lookup table — so Tamil and Kerala families see exactly the poruttham they use, Rajju and Vedha included, and can weigh the North’s Ashtakoota alongside them.
The ten Dasa Porutham
- Dina — health, longevity and day-to-day wellbeing of the couple
- Gana — temperament match (Deva, Manusha, Rakshasa)
- Mahendra — progeny and the wellbeing of descendants
- Stree-Deergha — the bride’s longevity and marital security
- Yoni — physical and instinctive compatibility
- Rasi — mutual prosperity and growth of the family
- Rasyadhipathi — friendship between the rasi lords
- Vasya — mutual attraction and influence
- Rajju — longevity of the marriage bond (a hard gate)
- Vedha — freedom from mutual affliction (a hard gate)
FAQ
Tamil Porutham — Frequently Asked Questions
Dasa Porutham (“ten matches”) are Dina, Gana, Mahendra, Stree-Deergha, Yoni, Rasi, Rasyadhipathi, Vasya, Rajju and Vedha. Each tests a different dimension of compatibility — longevity, progeny, harmony and prosperity — computed from the bride’s and groom’s birth nakshatras and rasis.
Rajju and Vedha are treated as hard gates: if either fails, the match is traditionally rejected regardless of how many other porutham agree. Dina, Gana, Yoni, Rasi and Rasyadhipathi are the core five most families weigh next; Mahendra, Stree-Deergha and Vasya are considered supportive.
North India uses Ashtakoota — eight kootas scored out of 36 gunas. Tamil Nadu and much of the South use Dasa Porutham — ten poruttham with Rajju and Vedha as pass/fail gates rather than a points total. We compute both from the same birth details, so you can compare.
The core porutham work from the birth nakshatra and rasi. For the fullest analysis — including Mangal (Chevvai) dosha — we use the exact birth date, time and place to derive the real sidereal Moon, Mars and Lagna positions for each person.
