Question 1

What is kundli matching (Gun Milan)?

Accepted Answer

Kundli matching, also called Gun Milan or Ashtakoot Milan, is the Vedic method of checking marriage compatibility by comparing the birth charts (Moon signs and nakshatras) of the bride and groom. It scores 8 kootas for a maximum of 36 gunas (points).

Question 2

How many gunas are there in kundli matching?

Accepted Answer

There are 8 kootas (categories) scored out of 36 gunas: Varna (1), Vashya (2), Tara (3), Yoni (4), Graha Maitri (5), Gana (6), Bhakoot (7), and Nadi (8).

Question 3

What is a good Gun Milan score?

Accepted Answer

A score of 18–24 is average, 25–32 is good, and 33–36 is a very good match. A score below 18 is generally not recommended, though astrologers consider other factors too.

Question 4

What is Mangal Dosha (Manglik) matching?

Accepted Answer

Mangal Dosha is present when Mars is in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house from the Lagna. The ideal situation is when both partners have the same Mangal Dosha status; if only one is Manglik, remedies are usually needed.

Question 5

Does kundli matching need the time of birth?

Accepted Answer

For an accurate Gun Milan report, both the time and place of birth are recommended, because they determine the exact Moon sign, nakshatra, and Mangal Dosha.

Question 6

Is kundli matching by date of birth alone accurate?

Accepted Answer

Moon sign and nakshatra can be computed from the date alone, but the exact time and place give a precise nakshatra and correct Mangal Dosha, so they improve accuracy.

Question 7

Is the kundli matching tool free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is completely free with no sign-up. Enter both birth details and get an instant 36 Guna and Mangal Dosha report.

Question 8

What does Nadi matching mean?

Accepted Answer

Nadi (8 gunas) checks the nakshatra nadi (Adi, Madhya, Antya) of both partners. If both have the same nadi, it scores 0 and may indicate health/genetic considerations. Nadi is considered the most important koota.
