This guide covers how compatibility is assessed in Vedic astrology — the guna milan points system, what Manglik dosha really means for a match, how love and arranged unions are read, and how delays in marriage are understood. The tone is reassuring and practical: matching supports a thoughtful decision, it does not replace it.

Read guide →Frequently asked questions
What is kundli matching (guna milan)?
Kundli matching compares two birth charts to assess compatibility, traditionally through the ashtakoota system of up to 36 points (guna). It looks at temperament, values and harmony — as guidance for a considered decision.
How many gunas should match for marriage?
Traditionally, a match of 18 or more out of 36 gunas is considered workable, with higher being favourable. But points are only part of the picture; the overall charts and other factors are weighed together.
Does Manglik dosha prevent marriage?
No. Manglik dosha is frequently mild or cancelled by other placements, and matches are very often suitable. It is one factor among many — never a reason for fear — and is best understood through a full reading.
For guidance specific to your own birth chart, a personal consultation looks at the complete picture.
