The North Indian way
11of 36 gunas
Families look for 18; this is below it. The two traditions differ here.
The eight kootas and the doshas
By the northern reckoning it is 11 of 36 — the two traditions differ here.
Varna — the order of the two signs1 of 1 · full
The groom's group is not below the bride's, the order wanted here.
Vashya — mutual influence0 of 2 · none
The two moon signs fall in unrelated groups, so this gives no points for mutual influence in the marriage.
Tara — wellbeing1½ of 3 · partly
The count is favourable one way and not the other, so this scores in part for wellbeing in the marriage.
Yoni — physical compatibility1 of 4 · partly
The two animal symbols are unfriendly to each other, so this scores low for physical compatibility in the marriage.
Graha Maitri — friendship of the sign lords½ of 5 · partly
By natural friendship, one ruler is hostile to the other, so this scores low for friendship in the marriage.
Gana — disposition0 of 6 · none
One temperament is deva and the other rakshasa: an opposed pair for a marriage.
Bhakoot — the pairing of the moon signs7 of 7 · full
The distance between the two moon signs is not one counted against a marriage, so this earns full marks.
Nadi — constitution0 of 8 · none
Husband and wife share one constitution, which is what Nadi dosha means.
- Nadi dosha — present, and none of the classical exceptions clear it.
Eighteen of thirty-six is the line families use; the kootas above say more than the total.
The ten, one by one
Dina and Rajju come first. Tap any one for its reason.
DinaHealth and longevityDoes not agree, but does not decidePoints: 0
What it looks at
The count from the bride's star to the groom's; some counts are avoided.
For this pair
Chitra (bride)Pushya (groom)
Count from the bride's star: 22
This porutham is about health and stamina in the marriage. It does not agree here, but it does not decide the match. (Why: from the bride's star to the groom's the count is 22, and the texts differ on that count.)
The texts differ on this count, so it does not decide.
RajjuLongevity of the marriageAgreesPoints: 1
What it looks at
The two stars must not fall in the same one of five groups; families look at this first.
For this pair
Siro (head) (bride)Kati (waist) (groom)
This is the porutham most families weigh above all others, for the length of the marriage, and it agrees here. (Why: the two stars fall in different rajju groups, which is what it requires.)
GanaTemperament and dispositionDoes not agreePoints: 0
For this pair
Rakshasa (fierce) (bride)Deva (divine) (groom)
The tradition sees the two temperaments as pulling against each other in a marriage.
MahendraProgeny and prosperityAgreesPoints: 1

For this pair
Chitra (bride)Pushya (groom)
Count from the bride's star: 22
This goes with the bride's long life and wellbeing in the marriage. (Why: the groom's star lies well ahead of the bride's.)
YoniPhysical compatibilityAgrees in partPoints: ½
For this pair
Tiger (bride)Sheep (groom)
This counts in part for physical understanding between husband and wife. (Why: the two animal symbols are neither the same nor natural enemies.)
RasiFamily harmony and progenyAgreesPoints: 1
What it looks at
The sign the Moon was in at birth.
For this pair
Tula (Libra) (bride)Karka (Cancer) (groom)
Place from the bride's rasi: 10
This holds for family harmony and children. (Why: the distance between the two Moon signs is a favourable one.)
RasyadhipathiMutual understandingDoes not agreePoints: 0
For this pair
Shukra (Venus) (bride)Chandra (Moon) (groom)
This shows up as differences in outlook between husband and wife. (Why: the lords of the two Moon signs are enemies of each other.)
VasyaMutual attractionDoes not agreePoints: 0
For this pair
Tula (Libra) (bride)Karka (Cancer) (groom)
This counts for mutual attraction, and it does not agree here. On its own it should not decide the marriage. (Why: in the vasya table neither Moon sign draws the other.)
VedhaFreedom from affliction between husband and wifeAgreesPoints: 1
For this pair
Chitra (bride)Pushya (groom)
The two stars do not obstruct each other, so this agrees for the marriage. (Why: the two stars are not one of the pairs that obstruct each other.)
