The eight kootas in one minute
Gun Milan (Ashtakoot matching) compares the birth stars of two people across eight factors worth 36 points in total: Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi. Each measures something different — temperament, mental rapport, health, family welfare, and more.
Nadi and Bhakoot: the two checks everyone asks about
Nadi (8 points) and Bhakoot (7 points) carry the most weight, and they are the two dosha checks families ask about first. A clear Nadi and Bhakoot is a strong signal on its own, independent of the total.
What your score actually means
Traditionally 18 points is workable, 25+ is good and 33+ is excellent. A perfect 36 is rare and not required — Gun Milan is one input alongside Manglik status and overall chart strength, not a pass/fail test.
Frequently asked
What is a good Gun Milan score?
18+ is considered workable, 25+ good, and 33+ excellent.
Does a Nadi dosha mean we cannot marry?
Not automatically. It is traditionally addressed with a targeted remedy and weighed alongside the rest of both charts.
