What is Gun Milan?

In Vedic astrology, before marriage the compatibility of a couple is assessed by comparing their Moon signs and birth nakshatras — this is Gun Milan or Ashtakoota. Across eight kootas worth 36 points in total, the more guna that match, the more harmonious the union is believed to be.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Gun Milan / Kundli Matching?

Gun Milan (Ashtakoota) is the Vedic system of matching a prospective bride and groom by comparing their Moon nakshatras across eight kootas (Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, Nadi) worth 36 points in total. The higher the guna score, the more harmonious the match is held to be.

How many guna are needed for marriage?

Traditionally a score of 18 or more out of 36 is considered acceptable for marriage; 25–32 is very good. Below 18 is weak and remedies or a fuller analysis are advised. But the guna count is only one factor — the Manglik (Mangal) dosha, the strength of the 7th house, and dasha timing matter too.

What is Nadi Dosha and Bhakoot Dosha?

Nadi (8 points) and Bhakoot (7 points) carry the most weight. If the couple share the same Nadi, all 8 points are lost (Nadi Dosha), traditionally linked to health and progeny. Bhakoot Dosha (0 points) arises on the 6–8, 2–12 or 5–9 Moon-sign axis. Both have classical cancellations (parihāra) — e.g. same or friendly sign-lords — which this calculator applies automatically.

Is this Kundli matching accurate?

Yes — the 36-guna computation uses the standard classical Ashtakoota tables and is validated cell-exact against the Jagannatha Hora reference across every nakshatra and pada. For a complete decision, also have an astrologer check Manglik dosha and the full horoscope, which need the exact birth time and place.
