Kundli matching is the process of matching the horoscope of the bride and groom to check their compatibility. This is an important ritual that happens to be the beginning ceremony of a wedding. Based on the outcome of the kundli matching, they will decide upon the wedding. They use the horoscopes of the bride and groom to check whether their stars are in alignment or not. If the stars are aligned, it is a belief that the couple will lead a healthy and happy wedding life. On the other hand, if the stars are not aligned, then they won’t get married. The kundli matching is done based on the birth date and name of the couple. But horoscope matching brings more accurate results compared to other methods. How Kundli matching is measured? The outcome of the kundli matching is measured using points or gunas. They consider a total of eight kootas during the kundli matching. These eight kootas sum up to a total of 36 gunas or points. A potential couple with a guna of 18 or above can think about a wedding life. This is also known as ashtakoota matching. Any couple who has a guna below 18 should never think about getting married. Otherwise, they should check whether they are having any dosha at their wedding. If there is any dosha, then they should work on their wedding.
