Kundli Milan
Bhakoot dosha (2/12, 5/9, 6/8) and its exceptions
When Moon signs fall 2/12, 5/9 or 6/8 from each other, Bhakoot gets zero. If the sign lords are the same or friends, it is traditionally cancelled - we check that for you.

Kundli matching is a traditional practice and a matter of belief, not a scientific prediction. Positions are calculated with standard astronomical formulas (accurate to a few arcminutes); check charts near a sign or nakshatra boundary with a full ephemeris. Don't make medical, legal or financial decisions from astrology. Giving, taking or demanding dowry is an offence under the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961.

The 8 kootas and their points
- Varna (1) - Spiritual outlook and ego, from the Moon sign
- Vashya (2) - Mutual attraction and who influences whom
- Tara (3) - Well-being and luck, from the birth stars counted both ways
- Yoni (4) - Physical and intimate compatibility (14 animal yonis)
- Graha Maitri (5) - Friendship of the Moon-sign lords: mental wavelength
- Gana (6) - Temperament: Deva, Manushya or Rakshasa
- Bhakoot (7) - Moon signs' distance: family welfare, money, children
- Nadi (8) - Health and progeny: the most weighted koota
18 or more is traditionally acceptable, 25-32 very good, above 32 excellent. A dosha that is cancelled by a classical exception should not decide a match on its own.
Who it's for
- "We're getting 3-4 rishtas a week. I want to check kundli myself before calling the pandit."
- "The app said 16 gunas and Nadi dosha. Is that really a deal-breaker?"
- "She's manglik - does his chart cancel it?"
- "We liked the boy. Parents want kundli matched. Can I see what it actually says?"
- "I'm in the US and my parents want gun milan done - I need it in Hindi for them."
Why people use Milanyog
When a rishta comes, the first question at home is 'kundli milti hai?'. Free apps give a number out of 36 and a scary 'Nadi dosha' label with no explanation. Pandits explain properly, but they take days, charge for every match, and families checking ten profiles a month can't do that every time. And most sites quietly skip the classical exceptions that cancel a dosha, so good matches get rejected on a technicality. Milanyog calculates both charts from the exact birth date, time and place (sidereal, Lahiri ayanamsa), gives you the 36-guna table instantly for free, and then writes a report a family can actually decide with: what each koota means for this couple, whether Nadi, Bhakoot or manglik dosha really applies or is cancelled, how the two dashas line up in the next five years, and questions worth asking the family. One pass covers every match you check this month.

Frequently asked questions
How is the guna score calculated?
We calculate both charts from birth date, time and place using real planetary positions (sidereal zodiac, Lahiri ayanamsa, the standard in Indian panchangs). The Moon's sign and nakshatra give the 8 kootas of Ashtakoota milan: Varna 1, Vashya 2, Tara 3, Yoni 4, Graha Maitri 5, Gana 6, Bhakoot 7 and Nadi 8 - 36 in total. The AI does not calculate anything; it only explains the result.
How many gunas are needed for marriage?
Traditionally 18 or more out of 36 is acceptable, 25-32 is very good and above 32 excellent. But the total alone is not enough: an uncancelled Nadi or Bhakoot dosha matters more than a few points, and many 'low score' matches are workable when the sign lords are friends. The report explains which applies to you.
Is Nadi dosha always a problem?
No. Classical texts give exceptions: when both have the same rashi but different nakshatras, the same nakshatra but different rashis, or the same nakshatra in different padas, Nadi dosha is considered cancelled. We check these from your charts and say clearly whether the dosha applies.
Can you check manglik dosha?
Yes. We check Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from the lagna, the Moon and Venus for both people. If both are manglik, the dosha is traditionally considered matched. We also note common cancellations, such as Mars in its own or exalted sign. Lagna-based manglik needs an accurate birth time.
What if we don't know the exact birth time?
Guna milan uses the Moon, which moves slowly, so the score is usually still right without a time (unless the Moon changed nakshatra that day - we warn you when it is near a boundary). Lagna, houses and manglik from lagna need the time; the report tells you which parts are reliable.
Is kundli milan free?
Yes, the Guna Milan calculator below is free and unlimited, and you get one full written report free each day. For families checking many rishtas, a 30-day pass (₹199 / $5) gives unlimited full reports and revisions. No auto-renewal.
Is this North Indian or South Indian matching?
We use Ashtakoota (36 gunas), the system used in North, West and Central India and by most families abroad. South Indian Dashakoota (10 poruthams) uses many of the same factors; the report notes the important overlaps such as Rajju and Nadi, but a porutham chart is not included yet.
Do you recommend gemstones or pujas?
We don't sell anything. If a real dosha remains after exceptions, the report mentions simple traditional remedies as a matter of family faith. Please be careful of anyone who uses a dosha to frighten you into expensive services.
