Kundli Matching
Compare two Vedic birth charts — marriage compatibility, spouse destiny, love chemistry and sibling match. All built on the Parāśara engine: Ashtakoota, Upapada Lagna, D9 Navamsha and more, in plain language.
Marriage Compatibility
Should you marry this person? See how happy and harmonious the married life will be — Ashtakoota, Upapada Lagna, D9 7th and Manglik balance combined into one 0–100 score.
OpenSpouse Destiny
Is this person destined to be your spouse? Find out if your D9 7th house, Upapada Lagna and Darakaraka indicators actually point toward this person.
OpenLove / Crush
Is there real romantic attraction? See who likes whom more and how strong the chemistry is — Venus, Mars passion, Moon emotional bond and Rahu obsession, both directions.
OpenSibling Match
Is this person your sibling in this life? Check if the D3 Drekkana charts share a sibling bond and how strong that karmic connection is.
OpenManglik Dosha Check
Does Manglik dosha apply — and does it actually matter for this match? Checks Mars from Lagna, Moon and Venus in both charts with all standard cancellations.
OpenHow Vedic Kundli Matching Works
Kundli matching (also called kundali milan) is a Vedic astrology technique that compares two birth charts at multiple levels. The most well-known layer is Ashtakoota — a Moon-nakshatra based scoring system with 8 criteria (kootas) totalling 36 points. A score of 18 or above is considered compatible for marriage. However, traditional Parāśara teaching treats gun-milan as a preliminary filter, not a final verdict.
Beyond Ashtakoota, the deeper analysis looks at Upapada Lagna (UL) — the arudha of the 12th house — which shows the nature of the marriage relationship itself. The D9 Navamsha 7th house reveals the destiny of the spouse. The Darakaraka (DK) — the planet with the lowest degree in one chart — describes the actual person one will marry. Matching these indicators across two charts gives a much richer picture than nakshatra-based scoring alone.
Ashtakoota — the 8 Kootas
Ashtakoota assigns points for 8 nakshatra-based compatibility factors. Here is the full breakdown with maximum points:
| Koota | Max Points | Signifies |
|---|---|---|
| Nadi | 8 | Genetic compatibility |
| Bhakoot | 7 | Emotional bonding |
| Gana | 6 | Nature & temperament |
| Graha Maitri | 5 | Mental harmony |
| Yoni | 4 | Physical compatibility |
| Tara | 3 | Birth star harmony |
| Vashya | 2 | Mutual attraction |
| Varna | 1 | Spiritual alignment |
| Total | 36 | 18+ acceptable · 28+ excellent |
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is kundli matching?
- Kundli matching (Kundali Milan or Gun Milan) compares two Vedic birth charts to assess marriage compatibility. It covers Ashtakoota (8 kootas out of 36 points), Manglik dosha, Upapada Lagna destiny analysis, D9 Navamsha 7th house, and cross-chart planetary links.
- What is Ashtakoota matching and what score is good?
- Ashtakoota scores 8 Moon-nakshatra criteria — Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi — out of a maximum 36. A score above 18 is considered acceptable and above 28 is excellent. Nadi and Bhakoot carry the highest weight (8 points each). In the Parāśara tradition, Ashtakoota is a starting point, not the final verdict.
- What is Manglik dosha and can it be cancelled?
- Manglik (Kuja) dosha occurs when Mars occupies the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from the Lagna, Moon or Venus. It is believed to affect the partner's health and longevity. Several conditions cancel the dosha: Mars in own sign or exaltation, presence of benefics, or both partners having the dosha.
- How is this different from other kundli matching tools?
- Most tools only compute Ashtakoota. This tool also analyses Upapada Lagna (UL) and its 7th house, D9 Navamsha 7th house destiny matching, Darakaraka (DK) indicators, Venus–Mars chemistry, A7 desire arudha, and cross-chart timing overlap — all based on PVNR's Parāśara methodology.
- Do I need to know the exact birth time?
- An approximate time (within 30 minutes) is sufficient for most analyses. Ashtakoota only needs the Moon sign (which is accurate even with a rough time), but Lagna-based analyses like UL, 7th lord and Manglik checks benefit from knowing the birth time within 2 hours.
