How Kundli Matching Works

Kundli matching, also called Guna Milan, is a time-honoured method used in Vedic astrology to assess compatibility between two people before marriage. It compares the birth charts of the prospective bride and groom to gauge harmony across several areas of life.

The Eight Kootas

Compatibility is measured across eight factors, known as kootas, which together carry a maximum of 36 points:

• Varna - spiritual compatibility
• Vashya - mutual attraction and control
• Tara - health and wellbeing
• Yoni - physical and intimate compatibility
• Graha Maitri - mental and intellectual bond
• Gana - temperament and behaviour
• Bhakoot - love and family welfare
• Nadi - health and progeny

What the Score Means

A total above 18 out of 36 is generally considered acceptable, while a score above 24 is regarded as very good. However, a number alone never tells the full story.

Beyond the Numbers

Skilled astrologers also examine doshas such as Mangal Dosha, the strength of planets, and the overall chart before giving guidance. This is why a personalised reading is far more reliable than an automated score.
