The 8 kootas and their points

What score is good

Broadly, 18 or more out of 36 is considered acceptable, and 24+ very good. But the total alone doesn't decide a match — the specific doshas do.

Why Nadi and Bhakoot matter most

Nadi carries the most points (8) and same-Nadi is treated as a significant dosha. Bhakoot affects emotional and financial harmony. A high total with a serious Nadi or Bhakoot dosha still needs careful reading — which is why the koota-by-koota breakdown matters more than the headline number.

FAQ

How many gunas are needed for marriage?

18+ of 36 is traditionally acceptable, 24+ is very good — but doshas like Nadi and Bhakoot are weighed beyond the raw score.

What is Nadi dosha?

When both partners share the same Nadi (of three), it's considered a dosha affecting health and progeny, and is examined carefully.
