Person 1 (kanyā — bride position): Mūla · Person 2 (vara — groom position): Dhaniṣṭhā
The classical tables read from the bride position to the groom position — that is the only reason for the order.
Typical gun milan score
20/ 36
18-20.5: the classical threshold is met. The table asks for attention to the specific low kootas and the dosha cancellations before reading anything further.
At least one of these nakshatras straddles a rashi boundary, so the exact pada changes the underlying Moon sign and the total ranges from 20 to 28.5/36. Below is the real score for all 16 pada combinations — this is why a single number would not be honest here.
| Person 1's pada | Person 2's pada → 1 | Person 2's pada → 2 | Person 2's pada → 3 | Person 2's pada → 4 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20 | 20 | 28.5 | 28.5 |
| 2 | 20 | 20 | 28.5 | 28.5 |
| 3 | 20 | 20 | 28.5 | 28.5 |
| 4 | 20 | 20 | 28.5 | 28.5 |
Bold = the typical (most common) value
| Koota | Person 1 | Person 2 | Points | What it measures |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| वर्ण Varṇa | Kshatriya | Vaishya | 0/1 | A one-point comparison of temperament 'class' derived from the Moon sign's element — read today as ego and work-style compatibility, never as social caste. |
| वश्य Vaśya | Manava | Jalachara | 0.5/2 | Two points on mutual attraction and influence: who naturally draws whom, whether the pull is even, and how the couple negotiates control. |
| तारा Tārā | Sadhaka | Pratyari | 1.5/3 | Three points on the mutual 'fortune' of the two birth stars: each person's janma nakshatra counted from the other's, in the nine-fold tara cycle — read as shared wellbeing and how each affects the other's luck and health. |
| योनि Yoni | Shvan | Simha | 1/4 | Four points on instinctive, physical and intimate compatibility, through the animal symbol of each janma nakshatra — fourteen yonis in relations of sameness, friendship, neutrality and enmity. |
| ग्रह मैत्री Graha Maitrī | Jupiter | Saturn | 3/5 | Five points on mental and emotional rapport: the natural friendship between the lords of the two Moon signs — how the couple's minds relate when nobody is trying. |
| गण Gaṇa | Rakshasa | Rakshasa | 6/6 | Six points on temperament: each janma nakshatra belongs to the deva (harmonizing), manushya (pragmatic) or rakshasa (intense, assertive) gana — labels for energy styles, not moral judgements. |
| भकूट Bhakūṭa | Dhanu | Makara | 0/7 | Seven points on the day-to-day emotional weather of the couple: the mutual distance between the two Moon signs, read for shared growth, prosperity and family harmony. |
| नाड़ी Nāḍī | Adi | Madhya | 8/8 | Eight points — the heaviest koota — on constitutional compatibility: each nakshatra belongs to the adi (vata), madhya (pitta) or antya (kapha) nadi, classically linked to health and progeny. |
Total: 20/36 · Muhūrta CintāmaṇiMuhurta traditionBPHS, Ch. 3
The Moon signs stand in a 2/12, 5/9 or 6/8 relation: the seven bhakoot points fall to zero at once, which makes this dosha look worse on paper than the tradition actually treats it.
Present, and no classical cancellation applies in these charts. The tradition reads this as an area of attentiveness — never a verdict.
Muhūrta CintāmaṇiMuhurta traditionBPHS, Ch. 3
This is a nakshatra-only comparison — it never had a birth time, lagna or Mars position to work with, so Mangal (Kuja) dosha cannot be shown here (it needs Mars from a full chart). A complete Jyotish reading always weighs the full chart, not only the two Moons — that is the tradition's own standard, not a shortcut we are taking.
Bride's nakshatra Mula, groom's below — the reverse order can score differently. Typical gun milan score out of 36.
