Kundli matching or horoscope matching is an ancient Vedic practice that has been an integral part of Indian marriages for centuries.
What is Kundli Matching?
Kundli matching involves comparing the birth charts of the bride and groom to assess compatibility. It considers planetary positions at the time of birth.
The 36 Gunas
In the Ashtakoot system, 36 gunas (qualities) are matched between two horoscopes. A minimum of 18 matching gunas is considered acceptable for marriage.
Key Factors
- Manglik Dosha - Mars placement in certain houses
- Nadi Dosha - Health and genetic compatibility
- Bhakoot Dosha - Emotional compatibility
Modern Perspective
While many families still consider Kundli matching important, modern couples often view it as one factor among many in their decision-making process.
