What this tool calculates
This tool performs horoscope matching using either the North Indian Ashtakoot system (Guna Milan, scoring compatibility out of 36 points across 8 factors, the default here) or the South Indian Porutham system (Kerala or Tamil variants, evaluating 10 distinct compatibility factors), plus a Mangal/Chevvai Dosha check for a Mars-related affliction some traditions evaluate separately.
Why North and South Indian systems score differently
Ashtakoot Guna Milan produces a numeric score out of 36 total points (commonly, 18 or more points is considered an acceptable match, though the specific threshold varies by regional convention and family tradition), while the Porutham systems evaluate ten separate matching categories individually rather than summing to one combined score. These are genuinely distinct traditional frameworks, not just different presentations of the same calculation, which is why this tool keeps them as separate selectable systems.
What this matching result represents
This is a traditional astrological compatibility framework rooted in Vedic astrology, offered here for those who follow or are curious about the practice. Results reflect a specific traditional methodology rather than a scientific or definitive prediction, and are commonly used alongside, not as a replacement for, a full consultation with a family astrologer for a significant decision like marriage.
