Ashtakoota Calculator
"Ashta" means eight, "koota" means factor — this calculator is built specifically to EXPLAIN each of the eight classical Ashtakoota compatibility factors in plain language, not just report a number. For each koota, you'll see exactly which classification each partner falls into and why that specific combination earned its score.

Why a Number Alone Isn't Enough
A raw 36-point total tells you very little about WHY two charts scored the way they did — this calculator is designed for people who want to actually understand each koota's underlying logic (Varna's elemental hierarchy, Tara's birth-star counting, Nadi's biological-type classification) rather than just see a headline number.
What Each of the Eight Kootas Actually Checks
Varna checks elemental/spiritual-nature hierarchy; Vashya checks mutual attraction and control dynamics; Tara checks birth-star counting for general well-being; Yoni checks physical/instinctual compatibility via animal symbols; Graha Maitri checks mental compatibility via the planetary rulers of each Moon sign; Gana checks temperament type; Bhakoot checks general life and financial harmony via Moon-sign distance; and Nadi checks a classical biological-energy classification tied to health and offspring.
Using This Calculator to Actually Learn the System
Many people encounter a Guna Milan score without ever understanding what produced it — this calculator is meant to double as a genuine, worked introduction to Ashtakoota's internal logic, using your own two charts as the concrete example.
