Kundli matching (Gun Milan) for marriage

The Ashtakoota (eight-part) method gives each koota a fixed number of points, so higher kootas carry more weight. Varna (1 point): spiritual and ego compatibility. Vashya (2): mutual attraction and influence. Tara (3): health and well-being together. Yoni (4): physical and intimate compatibility.

Graha Maitri (5): mental and friendship compatibility, from the lords of the two Moon signs. Gana (6): temperament and nature. Bhakoot (7): emotional bond and family harmony. Nadi (8): health and progeny. Together they add up to 36 points, the gun milan total.

Every koota is worked out from the two Moon positions only: the Moon sign (rashi) and the nakshatra of each person. That is why both birth times are needed.

The traditional reading groups the total into bands. 33 points or more: excellent match. 25 to 32: good match. 18 to 24: acceptable match, at or above the traditional minimum. Under 18: below the traditional minimum.

The bands are a convention, not a measurement of love or of how two people will treat each other. Two people with 30 points can struggle, and two with 16 can be very happy. Read the kootas one by one: a low score in one area is something to talk about, not a reason for fear.

Bhakoot dosha is when the two Moon signs sit in certain positions from each other, for example 2nd and 12th, 5th and 9th, or 6th and 8th; Bhakoot then scores 0 of 7. Nadi dosha is when both people have the same Nadi; Nadi then scores 0 of 8. Because these two kootas carry the most points, they are the ones families ask about most.

Classical texts also give cancellation rules (parihara). The rules this tool checks: Bhakoot dosha is cancelled when both Moon signs have the same lord, or when the two sign lords are friends; Nadi dosha is cancelled when the two nakshatras are different, or when the two padas are different. The full report shows which rules apply and the score after cancellation.

Many families check Manglik (Mangal dosha) alongside gun milan. The full report shows, for both charts, the house Mars occupies counted from the Lagna, the Moon and Venus, and which houses the convention counts. Sources disagree on the houses, the reference points and the exceptions, so the report states the placements and gives no yes or no.

You can also check one chart on its own with the free Manglik check.

This tool uses Ashtakoota, the eight-koota, 36-point method common in North India and the one most people mean by gun milan or kundli milan. Much of South India uses a different system of ten matches (Dashakoota, or Das Porutham) with its own rules, so a score from one method cannot be compared with a score from the other.

Shaadi ke liye kundli matching is one input among many. A matching score compares two Moon positions through a traditional table. It cannot tell you whether two people share values, communicate well, want the same life or will be kind to each other, and those matter more than any number. Please do not make a marriage decision on a score alone; talk with each other and with people you trust.

The free preview shows the total out of 36, the band, both Moon signs and nakshatras, and three of the eight kootas (Varna, Vashya and Tara). The full report costs Rs 21, paid once through Razorpay with no sign-in: all eight kootas with scores and plain explanations, Bhakoot and Nadi dosha with the cancellation rules, Manglik facts for both charts, strengths and areas to talk through, in English, Hindi or Hinglish, with a PDF.

The scores are calculated by the Navamsha API with the classical Ashtakoota method; the written explanations are made by an AI from those scores only and never change a number. A free preview is deleted after 24 hours and a paid report after 30 days; nothing is linked to an account.
