Matchmaking — frequently asked questions
What is Kundali Matchmaking (Gun Milan)?
Kundali Matchmaking, or Gun Milan, is the traditional Vedic method of checking marriage compatibility between two people by comparing their birth charts across eight kootas (factors) for a combined score out of 36 gunas.
How many gunas are needed for a good match?
Out of a maximum of 36 gunas, a score of 18 or above is generally considered acceptable, and 24 to 32 is regarded as a very good match. A score below 18 is traditionally seen as unfavourable.
What are the eight kootas (Ashtakoot)?
The eight kootas are Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi. Each measures a different dimension of compatibility and carries its own points toward the 36-guna total. RishiAstro shows a koota-by-koota breakdown.
What is Manglik (Kuja) dosha?
Manglik dosha occurs when Mars sits in certain houses of a birth chart and is considered in marriage matching. RishiAstro gives a graded Manglik reading for both partners and indicates whether it is balanced between them.
Is the matchmaking tool free?
Yes. The full Ashtakoot Gun Milan compatibility report and the Manglik analysis are completely free.
What details do I need for matchmaking?
The date, exact time and place of birth for both the bride and the groom. Accurate birth times give the most reliable Gun Milan score and Manglik results.
