Kundli Matching: What Are the 36 Gunas? (Ashtakoot Explained)

Kundli matching (कुंडली मिलान) is the Vedic compatibility check performed before marriage. Two birth charts are compared across eight parameters — the Ashtakoot — worth a total of 36 points, called gunas.

The 8 Kootas and Their Points

What the Score Means

Remember: gunas are a compass, not a verdict. A qualified jyotishi also checks Manglik dosha, dasha periods and overall chart strength before concluding.
