Kootas in Your Kundali
The 8 compatibility factors in Kundali Milan — Nadi, Varna, Vashya, Yoni, Gana, Bhakoot, Graha Maitri, Tara.
How Kootas Are Read in a Kundali
In Ashtakoota Milan the two charts are compared across eight kootas, each scoring from 1 to 8 points toward the 36-guna total. The kootas are weighted by importance — Nadi carries 8 points because it concerns health and progeny, while Varna carries 1. A low total in one koota can be offset elsewhere, except where a dosha like Nadi or Bhakoot voids the score.
Families quote the guna score, but the kootas underneath explain WHY a match scores as it does — temperament (Gana), emotional bond (Bhakoot), mutual attraction (Vashya). Reading them individually shows whether a low score reflects a real friction point or a technicality with a classical exception.
Run a free Kundali Milan for the couple, then read each koota's row in the result against the explainers below. Focus on Nadi and Bhakoot first — they are the only kootas whose zero can void an otherwise strong total — before weighing the smaller kootas.
The 8 Kootas & Their Points
| Koota | Max points | What it checks |
|---|---|---|
| Varna | 1 | Spiritual compatibility & ego |
| Vashya | 2 | Mutual attraction & control |
| Tara | 3 | Health & wellbeing (birth-star) |
| Yoni | 4 | Physical & instinctual compatibility |
| Graha Maitri | 5 | Mental affinity & friendship (rashi lords) |
| Gana | 6 | Temperament (Deva/Manushya/Rakshasa) |
| Bhakoot | 7 | Emotional bond & family welfare (rashi pair) |
| Nadi | 8 | Health & progeny (voids the match if 0) |
| Total | 36 | Sum of all eight kootas |
