Kundli Matching Calculator

Kundli Matching — Guna Milan — is the classical Vedic system for assessing marriage compatibility between two people, scoring their charts across **eight kootas (compatibility factors)** for a maximum of **36 points**. This calculator runs the complete analysis for both partners at once: the full point-by-point breakdown, the two most heavily weighted doshas (Nadi and Bhakoot), and a Manglik status cross-check.

What Guna Milan Actually Measures

Rather than comparing full birth charts point by point, classical Guna Milan focuses specifically on each partner's Moon sign and birth nakshatra — the mind and emotional temperament — since Vedic astrology treats compatibility of mind and disposition as the foundation a marriage is built on, more so than any other single factor.

The Eight Kootas at a Glance

Varna (1 pt, spiritual/work nature), Vashya (2 pts, mutual attraction), Tara (3 pts, birth-star counting), Yoni (4 pts, physical/sexual compatibility), Graha Maitri (5 pts, mental compatibility), Gana (6 pts, temperament), Bhakoot (7 pts, general life and financial harmony), and Nadi (8 pts, health and genetic compatibility) — each scored independently and summed to the final total.

How to Read the Final Score

A commonly cited rule of thumb treats 18+ out of 36 as an acceptable match, 28+ as an excellent one, and below 18 as warranting caution — but this calculator also flags Nadi and Bhakoot Dosha specifically, since a strong overall score can still coexist with one of these two individually significant flaws that many traditions weigh heavily regardless of the total.

Kundli Matching Calculator FAQs

What is Kundli Matching?
The classical Vedic practice of comparing two people's birth charts — specifically their Moon sign and nakshatra — across eight compatibility factors (kootas) to produce a 36-point marriage-compatibility score.
What is considered a "good" Guna Milan score?
A commonly cited guideline treats 18 or more out of 36 as acceptable, with 28+ considered excellent — though the presence of Nadi or Bhakoot Dosha is often weighed as significant regardless of the total score.
Do I need exact birth times for both people?
An accurate birth time matters for computing an accurate Moon position and nakshatra, both central to this analysis — the more precise the birth data for both partners, the more reliable the match.
Is a low score a reason to avoid marriage?
Traditional practice treats Guna Milan as one significant input among several considered in marriage decisions, not an automatic veto — many astrologers also weigh the specific dosha involved, its severity, and other chart factors before forming a recommendation.
What is the difference between this and the Ashtakoota Calculator on this site?
Both use the identical underlying computation; this calculator adds a Manglik cross-check alongside the koota breakdown, while the Ashtakoota Calculator focuses purely on explaining each of the eight kootas in more depth.
