Kundli matching (Kundali Milan / Gun Milan) checks marriage compatibility between two birth charts using the Ashtakoot system — an eight-factor, 36-point score — plus dosha checks such as Mangal (Manglik) and Nadi. Kundality goes beyond the number to a full two-chart analysis.
Ashtakoot Milan compares eight kootas (Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, Nadi) worth 36 gunas in total. 18+ is considered acceptable and 24+ very good — but the score is a starting point, and the full chart context matters more than the number alone.
Manglik dosha (Mars in houses 1, 4, 7, 8 or 12) and Nadi or Bhakoot dosha are checked because tradition flags them for marriage. Many have valid cancellations (parihara), so a "dosha" is rarely a final verdict — check yours with the free Mangal Dosha tool or run a full 36-guna match.
A high guna score with malefic 7th houses can still be difficult; a lower score with strong Venus and Jupiter placements can thrive. Kundality reads both charts together — 7th house, Venus/Jupiter, dashas and timing — for a realistic view of compatibility.
18 of 36 is the traditional minimum; 24+ is considered very good, though context matters.
Mars in certain houses, traditionally flagged for marriage; it often has classical cancellations.
Often yes. Many real couples with doshas or low scores are happily married, and overall chart strength is decisive.
Accurate matching needs both birth details; without time, results are approximate.
