Kundli matching for marriage — Ashtakoot 36 Gun Milan

The 8 Kootas (Ashtakoot) explained

• Varna (1 point) — spiritual and ego compatibility.
• Vashya (2) — mutual attraction and influence.
• Tara / Dina (3) — health and well-being, from the birth Nakshatras.
• Yoni (4) — physical and intimate compatibility.
• Graha Maitri (5) — friendship between the Moon-sign lords; mental wavelength.
• Gana (6) — temperament: Deva, Manushya or Rakshasa.
• Bhakoot (7) — family welfare, finances and emotional bond.
• Nadi (8) — health and progeny; the most heavily weighted koota.

How to read your Guna score

• Below 18 — traditionally not recommended without a closer look at both charts.
• 18 – 24 — acceptable match.
• 25 – 32 — very good match.
• 33 – 36 — excellent match.
• The score is a starting point. A Nadi or Bhakoot dosha can be cancelled by specific conditions, and the 7th house, Venus and Navamsa of each chart matter as much as the total — which is why you can also ask the AI astrologer about a match.

Mangal Dosha (Manglik) check

Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house is traditionally considered Mangal Dosha. Jyotish Tarang flags it for both partners so you can see whether the dosha is present in one chart, both (where it is generally considered to balance out), or neither.
