Get the classical 36-point Ashtakoot Guna Milan score for a boy and a girl - a free first check for marriage compatibility.
Kundli Matching, or Ashtakoot Guna Milan, is the classical Vedic system used before marriage to check compatibility between two people. It compares the bride and groom's Moon sign (Rasi) and birth star (Nakshatra) across 8 factors (Kootas), each worth a different number of points, adding up to 36 in total. A higher score generally points to greater harmony, but two factors - Nadi and Bhakoot - are traditionally treated as important on their own regardless of the total score.
What is Kundli Matching (Guna Milan)?
Kundli Matching, or Ashtakoot Guna Milan, is the classical Vedic system for checking marriage compatibility. It compares the bride and groom's Moon sign (Rasi) and birth star (Nakshatra) across 8 factors (Kootas) worth 36 points in total.
What score is considered a good match?
As a general guide: 18 or more out of 36 is traditionally considered acceptable, 25-32 is good, and 33-36 is excellent and rare. Below 18 is traditionally not recommended without further astrological review.
What are Nadi Dosha and Bhakoot Dosha?
These are the two most significant of the 8 factors. Nadi Dosha (0 out of 8) is traditionally considered the most serious flag for health and genetic compatibility, and Bhakoot Dosha (0 out of 7) for emotional bonding and family welfare - both are checked independently of the total score. Both can be classically cancelled in specific cases - for example, Bhakoot Dosha is cancelled when both people's Moon signs share the same ruling planet.
Do I need exact birth times for both people?
Yes, ideally. Guna Milan is based on the Moon Rasi and Nakshatra, and the Moon changes Nakshatra roughly every day, so an accurate birth time and place for both people gives the most reliable result.
