All Learn TopicsKundali Milan is the traditional Vedic process of matching horoscopes before marriage. The Ashtakoot system scores 8 categories (koot) to a total of 36 points, with 18 or more considered a good match.
The 36 points split across 8 koots - Varna (1), Vashya (2), Tara (3), Yoni (4), Graha Maitri (5), Gana (6), Bhakoot (7) and Nadi (8). Nadi and Bhakoot are the most critical; low scores there may need remedies even if the total is high.
The most vital poruthams are Nadi (health and progeny), Bhakoot (longevity and harmony), Gana (temperament), and Yoni (physical compatibility). Tara checks mental compatibility through nakshatra lords.
If either person has Manglik dosh, charts are checked for dosh neutralization. Many families consider Manglik-Manglik marriages ideal. A good astrologer looks at the full chart, not just the 36-point score.
