Complete 36-point Gun Milan with 8 Koota summary and Mangal Dosha check.
Gun Milan is the Ashtakoota Kundali-matching method that scores a couple across 8 kootas — Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi — for a maximum of 36 gunas. Tradition reads 18 as the acceptable floor, and a Nadi score of zero, Nadi Dosh, calls for parihar checks in the full kundali.
अष्टकूट — 8 कूटों का विवरण (The 8 Kootas)
| कूट (Koota) | अंक | विवरण |
|---|---|---|
| वर्ण (Varna) | 1 | आध्यात्मिक अनुकूलता — Spiritual & ego compatibility ब्राह्मण, क्षत्रिय, वैश्य, शूद्र — वर का वर्ण वधू के बराबर या ऊपर होना चाहिए। |
| वश्य (Vashya) | 2 | आकर्षण शक्ति — Mutual attraction & influence मानव, वनचर, चतुष्पद, जलचर, कीट — पारस्परिक प्रभाव और नियंत्रण का आकलन। |
| तारा (Tara) | 3 | भाग्य अनुकूलता — Destiny & health compatibility 27 नक्षत्रों को 9 समूहों में बांटकर दोनों के भाग्य की अनुकूलता देखी जाती है। |
| योनि (Yoni) | 4 | शारीरिक अनुकूलता — Physical & intimate compatibility 14 पशु प्रतीकों के आधार पर — मित्र पशु अधिक अंक, शत्रु पशु शून्य अंक। |
| ग्रह मैत्री (Graha Maitri) | 5 | मानसिक अनुकूलता — Mental & intellectual compatibility राशि स्वामियों की मित्रता — दोनों के राशि स्वामी मित्र हों तो पूर्ण अंक। |
| गण (Gana) | 6 | स्वभाव — Temperament matching देव, मनुष्य, राक्षस — समान गण सर्वोत्तम; देव-राक्षस संयोग शून्य अंक। |
| भकूट (Bhakoot) | 7 | भावनात्मक अनुकूलता — Emotional & financial well-being राशि स्थिति के आधार पर — 6-8 या 2-12 स्थिति अशुभ मानी जाती है। |
| नाडी (Nadi) | 8 | स्वास्थ्य अनुकूलता — Health & genetic compatibility आदि, मध्य, अंत्य — समान नाडी = नाडी दोष (शून्य अंक)। सबसे महत्वपूर्ण कूट। |
| कुल (Total) | 36 | 36 गुण = पूर्ण अनुकूलता |
गुण मिलान स्कोर गाइड (Score Interpretation)
अशुभ (Avoid)
विवाह से पहले विस्तृत कुंडली विश्लेषण और उपाय आवश्यक। Below minimum threshold — detailed chart analysis and remedies needed before proceeding.
सामान्य (Average)
विवाह संभव है, लेकिन कुछ चुनौतियाँ हो सकती हैं। Marriage is possible with some adjustments — check specific weak kootas for targeted remedies.
शुभ (Good)
अच्छी अनुकूलता — सुखद वैवाहिक जीवन की संभावना। Strong compatibility across most kootas — indicates a harmonious married life.
अति शुभ (Excellent)
उत्तम अनुकूलता — सभी प्रमुख कूटों में मेल। Exceptional compatibility — rare and highly auspicious match across all dimensions.
Gana Koota — the temperament matrix (6 points)
Gana groups every nakshatra as Deva (divine), Manushya (human) or Rakshasa (demonic). Same-gana and Deva–Manushya pairs score well; Manushya–Rakshasa is the hardest:
| Gana | with Deva | with Manushya | with Rakshasa |
|---|---|---|---|
| Deva | 6 | 5 | 1 |
| Manushya | 5 | 6 | 0 |
| Rakshasa | 1 | 0 | 6 |
Bhakoot Dosh — the rashi pairs that void the 7 points
Bhakoot (7 points) measures emotional and family harmony from the two moon-signs. Three rashi-distance pairs score zero and are read as Bhakoot Dosh:
| Rashi distance | Dosha (name) | Points |
|---|---|---|
| 2/12 | Dhan–Vyaya (wealth / loss) | 0 of 7 |
| 5/9 | Rog–Karm (health / karma) | 0 of 7 |
| 6/8 | Ari–Randhra (conflict / longevity) | 0 of 7 |
The Engine Behind This Reading
Your Gun Milan compatibility score is computed by the same astronomical engine a serious Jyotishi relies on — the Swiss Ephemeris, which fixes every planet's position to sub-arcsecond precision, read against the Lahiri ayanamsa (the sidereal zodiac Vedic astrology uses). No fixed-calendar shortcuts, no rounded almanac tables.
We calibrate that engine to within ±5 minutes on every time-of-day value, and an exact match on tithi and nakshatra names — so the figures you read here are the same ones your family astrologer would quote from the panchang.
The meaning layered on top is not generic AI text. Every reading is anchored to a classical rule from the Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra and the Parashari tradition, then explained in plain language by Your AI Jyotishi — Pandit-ji. The planets and yogas come from the engine; the words only make them clear.
Ashtakoot calculation follows classical 36-guna rules with Swiss Ephemeris Moon positions.

गुण मिलान क्या है? (What is Gun Milan?)
गुण मिलान (Gun Milan), जिसे कुंडली मिलान (Kundali Milan) या होरोस्कोप मैचिंग भी कहते हैं, वैदिक ज्योतिष की वह प्राचीन पद्धति है जिसमें विवाह से पहले वर-वधू की जन्म कुंडलियों की तुलना करके उनकी अनुकूलता जांची जाती है। यह परंपरा हजारों वर्षों से भारत में चली आ रही है और आज भी हिन्दू परिवारों में विवाह निर्णय का एक महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा है।
Gun Milan is the traditional Vedic practice of comparing two birth charts (Kundalis) to assess compatibility before marriage. The system used is called Ashtakoot Gun Milan (अष्टकूट गुण मिलान) — a structured framework that evaluates 8 dimensions called Kootas. Each Koota carries different points, totaling 36 Gunas (गुण). The matching is based on the Moon's Nakshatra (birth star) in each person's birth chart.
अष्टकूट पद्धति कैसे काम करती है? (How Ashtakoot Works)
अष्टकूट पद्धति में 8 कूटों (Kootas) का मिलान किया जाता है। प्रत्येक कूट जीवन के एक अलग पहलू का मूल्यांकन करता है — आध्यात्मिकता से लेकर शारीरिक अनुकूलता तक, स्वभाव से लेकर स्वास्थ्य तक। ये 8 कूट हैं: वर्ण (1 अंक), वश्य (2 अंक), तारा (3 अंक), योनि (4 अंक), ग्रह मैत्री (5 अंक), गण (6 अंक), भकूट (7 अंक), और नाडी (8 अंक)।
The 8 Kootas evaluate different life dimensions: Varna (spiritual ego), Vashya (mutual influence), Tara (destiny/health), Yoni (physical compatibility), Graha Maitri (mental wavelength), Gana (temperament), Bhakoot (emotional/financial prosperity), and Nadi (health/genetics — highest weightage at 8 points).
नाडी कूट सबसे महत्वपूर्ण माना जाता है क्योंकि इसमें सर्वाधिक 8 अंक होते हैं। यदि दोनों की नाडी समान हो (आदि-आदि, मध्य-मध्य, या अंत्य-अंत्य) तो नाडी दोष लगता है जो स्वास्थ्य और संतान के लिए चिंता का विषय माना जाता है। हालांकि, विशेष परिस्थितियों में नाडी दोष भंग भी होता है।
कितने गुण मिलने चाहिए? (How Many Gunas are Needed?)
36 में से कम से कम 18 गुण (50%) मिलना विवाह के लिए न्यूनतम आवश्यक माना जाता है। 18 से कम गुण होने पर ज्योतिषी सावधानी या विशेष उपायों की सलाह देते हैं। 24 से अधिक गुण अच्छी अनुकूलता दर्शाते हैं, जबकि 32 से अधिक गुण उत्तम मिलान माने जाते हैं।
A minimum of 18 out of 36 Gunas is considered acceptable for marriage. Scores between 18-24 indicate an average match with some areas needing attention. Scores of 25-32 signify good compatibility, and 33-36 is considered an excellent, highly auspicious match. Our calculator uses the Swiss Ephemeris engine and Lahiri Ayanamsa for precise calculations — as accurate as a pandit's manual computation, but instant and free.
If the Score is Below 18, Nadi is 0, or Bhakoot is 0
Do not decide only from the total score. A low score needs chart-level review: Nadi Dosha cancellation, Bhakoot Dosha cancellation, Mangal Dosha, 7th house strength, Navamsha and running dasha can change the final judgement.
मंगल दोष और गुण मिलान (Mangal Dosha in Gun Milan)
गुण मिलान के साथ-साथ मंगल दोष (Mangal Dosha) की जांच भी अलग से की जाती है। यदि मंगल (Mars) लग्न से चतुर्थ, सप्तम, अष्टम या द्वादश भाव में हो और उस पर किसी शुभ ग्रह की दृष्टि या युति न हो, तो व्यक्ति मांगलिक माना जाता है। आदर्श रूप से, दोनों वर-वधू की मंगल दोष स्थिति समान होनी चाहिए। हमारा कैलकुलेटर गुण मिलान के साथ-साथ मंगल दोष की जांच भी स्वचालित रूप से करता है।
Beyond the 36-point score, Mangal Dosha is checked separately as it directly impacts marital harmony. Both partners having matching Manglik status is considered ideal. Our calculator automatically checks Mangal Dosha alongside the Ashtakoot analysis, giving you a complete picture of marital compatibility.
Exact Gun Milan vs Name-Only Estimate
Exact matching computes each partner's Moon nakshatra from birth date, time and place, then applies the eight Ashtakoot rules to those calculated positions. That input trail is what makes the result reproducible.
A name can only suggest a possible naming syllable and nakshatra. Many names do not follow the classical naming convention, and one syllable may map imperfectly across languages. Name-only matching is therefore an orientation tool—not evidence for a marriage decision.
Even an exact 36-guna result is one traditional lens. It cannot measure consent, behaviour, safety, shared values or guarantee how a relationship will develop.
नाम से गुण मिलान — नक्षत्र अक्षर (Gun Milan by Name)
नाम से गुण मिलान इसलिए संभव है क्योंकि किसी व्यक्ति के नाम का पहला अक्षर परंपरागत रूप से उसके जन्म नक्षत्र के पद (charan) से चुना जाता है — इसलिए नाम स्वयं चंद्र नक्षत्र की ओर संकेत करता है, जो गुण मिलान का सबसे महत्वपूर्ण आधार है।
A person's naming syllable (akshara) is traditionally taken from the pada of their janma Nakshatra, so a name can point back to the Moon's Nakshatra — the key input for the 36-guna score. When a name follows this classical convention, the table below shows which Nakshatra it maps to. Name-based matching is a useful first estimate; for a decision-grade score, use each partner's birth date and place so the Nakshatra is computed from the actual chart rather than inferred from the name.
| Nakshatra | Naming syllables (by pada) |
|---|---|
| Ashwini | Chu, Che, Cho, La |
| Bharani | Li, Lu, Le, Lo |
| Krittika | A, I, U, E |
| Rohini | O, Va, Vi, Vu |
| Mrigashira | Ve, Vo, Ka, Ki |
| Ardra | Ku, Gha, Nga, Chha |
| Punarvasu | Ke, Ko, Ha, Hi |
| Pushya | Hu, He, Ho, Da |
| Ashlesha | Di, Du, De, Do |
| Magha | Ma, Mi, Mu, Me |
| Purva Phalguni | Mo, Ta, Ti, Tu |
| Uttara Phalguni | Te, To, Pa, Pi |
| Hasta | Pu, Sha, Na, Tha |
| Chitra | Pe, Po, Ra, Ri |
| Swati | Ru, Re, Ro, Taa |
| Vishakha | Ti, Tu, Te, To |
| Anuradha | Na, Ni, Nu, Ne |
| Jyeshtha | No, Ya, Yi, Yu |
| Mula | Ye, Yo, Bha, Bhi |
| Purva Ashadha | Bhu, Dha, Pha, Dha |
| Uttara Ashadha | Bhe, Bho, Ja, Ji |
| Shravana | Ju, Je, Jo, Gha |
| Dhanishta | Ga, Gi, Gu, Ge |
| Shatabhisha | Go, Sa, Si, Su |
| Purva Bhadrapada | Se, So, Da, Di |

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले प्रश्न (FAQ)
What is the difference between Gun Milan and Kundali Milan?
Gun Milan and Kundali Milan refer to two aspects of the same matchmaking process. Gun Milan specifically means the 36-point Ashtakoot scoring system, which evaluates eight compatibility factors between the prospective bride and groom. Kundali Milan is the broader birth-chart comparison that includes Gun Milan plus Mangal Dosha analysis, dasha alignment, and other chart factors. Ashtakoot Gun Milan is the core and most commonly used component of Kundali Milan.
Should I avoid marriage if the Gun Milan score is below 18?
A score below 18 is a concern but does not mean marriage is impossible. Vedic astrology recognises several exceptions — for example, doshas can cancel each other out, the Navamsha (D9) chart may show a stronger match, or specific yogas in either chart can override low scores. A score below 18 warrants careful review by an experienced Jyotishi who can recommend suitable remedies or confirm whether the match is workable.
Can Gun Milan be done without exact birth time?
Not reliably, and we would rather say so. Gun Milan is computed from the Moon's nakshatra, and the Moon changes nakshatra on 96.2% of days in 2026 — so on almost any birthday there is a boundary somewhere in the 24 hours, and a guessed time can land on the wrong side of it. Nadi and Bhakoot koota alone are 15 of the 36 points and turn entirely on nakshatra and rashi, so a wrong nakshatra does not shift the score slightly, it changes the verdict. If you know the birth time, enter it and the score is exact. If you do not, the tradition's own answer is naam-akshar matching — matching from the first syllable of each name — which this calculator offers: switch it to the "By naam" mode above. That is honest about what it knows; a score built on a guessed hour is not.
What is Nadi Dosha and why is it important?
Nadi Dosha occurs when both prospective partners share the same Nadi — Aadi, Madhya, or Antya. Since Nadi carries the highest weightage (8 of 36 points), matching Nadi results in zero points and is considered significant for health and progeny outcomes in traditional Vedic matchmaking. However, specific cancellation rules (Nadi Dosha Bhang) can apply when both partners have the same Moon sign, same nakshatra, or when their nakshatra lords are friends.
Is online Gun Milan as accurate as a pandit's calculation?
Our calculator uses the Swiss Ephemeris — the same astronomical engine used by professional astrology software worldwide — with Lahiri Ayanamsa for sidereal calculations. The mathematical computation is mathematically identical to manual Jyotish methods. The advantage of an online calculator is instant, error-free results. For interpretation of borderline scores or complex dosha situations, consulting an experienced Jyotishi remains valuable.
Can Gun Milan be done by name only?
Yes, name-based Gun Milan is possible because a person's naming syllable (akshara) is traditionally chosen from the pada of their janma Nakshatra — so the name can point back to the Moon's Nakshatra, which is the single most important input for the 36-guna Ashtakoot score. Switch this calculator to the "By naam" mode, enter the bride's and groom's names, and it maps each name to its naam-akshar cell — asking you to confirm the nakshatra whenever a syllable belongs to more than one. It is the right option when you know the names but not the exact birth details — though for a decision-grade score, the birth date and place give the authoritative chart.
How accurate is Gun Milan by name (naam se gun milan)?
Name-based matching is a useful first check, not the final word. It works when the name follows the classical Nakshatra-akshara convention, but many modern names are chosen freely and do not encode the birth Nakshatra — so a name can point to the wrong Nakshatra. Treat naam se gun milan as a quick estimate; for a reliable 36-guna score, use each partner's birth date, time, and place so the Moon's Nakshatra is computed from the actual chart rather than inferred from the name.
