The eight kootas, and what each one weighs

Guna Milan is not a single score. It is eight separate comparisons, each worth a fixed number of points:

How to read the score

Out of 36, a total of 18 or above is conventionally considered acceptable, and 25 and above is considered strong. But the total on its own hides a lot: a pair can reach 24 while failing Nadi entirely, and many families treat a Nadi or Bhakoot failure as more important than the headline number. That is why every koota is shown separately here rather than rolled into one figure.

Mangal Dosha is checked separately

Manglik status is not part of the 36 points. It is worked out from where Mars sits, counted from both the ascendant and the Moon — the houses that count are the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th and 12th. Both charts are checked, because the classical position is that the dosha is largely cancelled when both partners carry it.

Frequently asked

How many gunas are needed for marriage?

18 out of 36 is the usual minimum, and 25 or more is considered a strong match. Below 18 is traditionally read as a poor match, though most practitioners look at the individual kootas and the two charts as a whole before concluding anything.

Do we both need our exact birth times?

For the guna score itself the Moon position is what matters, so the time needs to be roughly right rather than exact. For the Mangal Dosha check the ascendant matters too, so a wrong time can change that part.

What if the Nadi koota scores zero?

Nadi dosha is the eight-point koota and a zero there pulls the total down sharply. Classical texts list several conditions under which it is considered cancelled. This is exactly the kind of question worth taking to an astrologer rather than settling from a number alone.

Is this the same as name matching?

No. This uses both birth charts — real Moon positions and nakshatras. Matching by name alone is not the Ashtakoota system.
