Manglik, Nadi or Guna Mismatch? See If You Can Marry

Planetary positions are computed using the Swiss Ephemeris — the same astronomical engine used by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory — accurate to arc-second precision. We use Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, which is the official standard adopted by the Indian government's Calendar Reform Committee and used by the vast majority of North Indian Jyotishis. The Ashtakoot scoring follows the classical Parashari Paddhati exactly as codified in Muhurta Chintamani. You can cross-verify our Graha Spashta (planetary degree tables) against any standard software like Jagannatha Hora or Parashara's Light — the positions will match.

The report includes a full Graha Spashta section — exact planetary longitudes in degrees, minutes, and seconds for both charts. Any practicing Jyotishi can independently verify every calculation from these tables. We follow the standard Niryana (sidereal) system with Lahiri ayanamsa, the Vimshottari Dasha scheme for timing, and the Parashari house system — this is what the overwhelming majority of pandits in India use. Multiple customers have shared the report with their family astrologer and received confirmation. The report is designed to supplement, not replace, your pandit's guidance.

Free tools perform Moon-sign-based matching — they check Rashi compatibility and give you a gun milan number. Our analysis is Lagna-based: we examine the Ascendant, all 12 Bhavas, planetary aspects (Drishti), conjunctions, and house lordships for both charts. Specifically, free tools miss: Mars dosha cancellation conditions (there are 12+ classical exceptions most sites ignore), Dasha period compatibility (are you both running favorable Mahadashas for marriage?), Bhava-level family compatibility (4th, 7th, 9th house analysis), and personalized remedies tied to your actual afflicted grahas. Our 25-page report covers all of this with your real planetary positions — not templated paragraphs.

Yes. Select the "approximate time" option and we use sunrise at your birth location as the default — this is the standard Vedic convention (Surya Udaya system) when exact time is unavailable. Gun Milan scoring is Nakshatra-based and does not change with birth time, so your Ashtakoot score remains fully accurate. Time-sensitive elements like the Lagna (Ascendant) chart and Bhava positions will carry a note explaining the approximation. If you have a rough window (e.g., "morning" or "after midnight"), entering the midpoint of that window gives better Lagna accuracy than the sunrise default.

Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra states that a minimum of 18 out of 36 guns is generally recommended, but this is a guideline, not a verdict. Many successful marriages have scores of 15-17 because the specific combination of koots matters more than the total. For example, if Nadi (8 points) and Bhakoot (7 points) are both zero, that accounts for 15 lost points — but if these doshas have classical exceptions in your chart (like Nadi dosha cancelled by same Rashi), the effective compatibility may be much higher. Our report identifies exactly which koots are weak, whether exceptions apply, and prescribes specific remedies — Mahamrityunjaya Japa for Nadi dosha, specific ratna for Bhakoot afflictions, and targeted pujas. Many families have proceeded confidently after understanding the specifics.

Our analysis engine applies rules from Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Phaladeepika by Mantreshwara, and Jataka Parijata systematically across your entire chart — checking every combination, every aspect, and every exception. A typical in-person consultation lasts 15-30 minutes; in that time, even an experienced Jyotishi may check gun milan and glance at Manglik dosha. Our report cross-references Ashtakoot scores with Bhava analysis, Dasha timing, transit positions, and dosha cancellations simultaneously — a level of thoroughness that would require hours of manual calculation. Think of it as the difference between a hand-calculated tax return and one done by software: the principles are identical, but the software checks everything.

We follow the Parashari system — the most widely practiced school of Vedic astrology in India, as distinct from the Jaimini or Tajika systems. Ayanamsa: Lahiri (Chitrapaksha), which is the Indian national standard. House system: Whole-sign (Rashi-based) houses, as prescribed in classical texts. Dasha: Vimshottari (120-year cycle based on Moon's Nakshatra at birth). Ashtakoot matching follows the Nakshatra Paddhati with the standard point allocation: Nadi (8), Bhakoot (7), Gana (6), Graha Maitri (5), Yoni (4), Tara (3), Vashya (2), Varna (1). Manglik analysis checks Mars from Lagna, Chandra, and Shukra as recommended in BPHS. All planetary longitudes are Niryana (sidereal) computed via Swiss Ephemeris.
