What if we have Nadi or Bhakoot dosha?

The classical texts define every dosha together with its cancellations — see the "Doshas" section below for exactly which pariharas apply to this pair. When a cancellation applies, the dosha is classically nullified; when none applies, it still names an area of attentiveness, not a flaw in either person — no classical text makes it a marriage prohibition.

Does the score change by the exact pada of Mūla or Mūla?

No — neither nakshatra straddles a rashi boundary, so the score stays the same across all four padas.

नक्षत्र मिलान · Mūla & Mūla nakshatra compatibility

मूल Mūla & मूल Mūla

Person 1 (kanyā — bride position): Mūla · Person 2 (vara — groom position): Mūla

The classical tables read from the bride position to the groom position — that is the only reason for the order.

Typical gun milan score

28/ 36

28-36: an unusually harmonious pairing by the classical table. The tradition still asks the couple to check the doshas and, above all, to remember that a chart describes weather, not choices.

The 8-koota breakdown
Koota	Person 1	Person 2	Points	What it measures
वर्ण Varṇa	Kshatriya	Kshatriya	1/1	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	Manava	2/2	Two points on mutual attraction and influence: who naturally draws whom, whether the pull is even, and how the couple negotiates control.
तारा Tārā	Janma	Janma	3/3	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	Shvan	4/4	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	Jupiter	5/5	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	Dhanu	7/7	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	Adi	0/8	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.

दोष · Doshas — always with their cancellations

नाड़ी दोष Nadi dosha

Both Moons in the same nadi (adi/madhya/antya): the heaviest single factor of the table (8 of 36 points at stake), classically linked to health and progeny concerns.

Present, and no classical cancellation applies in these charts. The tradition reads this as an area of attentiveness — never a verdict.

सीमा · What this page does not cover

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.

Is Mūla and Mūla nakshatra a good match for marriage?: Their typical gun milan score is 28 out of 36 — 28-36: an unusually harmonious pairing by the classical table. The tradition still asks the couple to check the doshas and, above all, to remember that a chart describes weather, not choices. In the classical table this number is one factor among many; the full charts, dashas, and the dosha cancellations below matter just as much.
