Kundli matching for marriageEvery proposal is kundli matched before you see it.

Kundli matching, or Guna Milan, compares the birth charts of a boy and a girl across eight kootas, scored out of 36. At Pavitra Rishta, a matchmaking service in Kolkata since 2006, every proposal is kundli matched before it reaches your family. We check the Guna Milan score and whether either side is Manglik. Then your Relationship Manager looks at everything else that makes a marriage work: values, community, education, business and the two families.

Manglik

A person is called Manglik when Mars sits in certain houses of the birth chart, most commonly the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th. Many families prefer a Manglik match for a Manglik son or daughter.

We check the Manglik status of both sides before a proposal is shared, so there are no surprises after the families have met.

How we use kundli at Pavitra Rishta

  1. Birth details first. At the first meeting we note the date, time and place of birth, or take the kundli your pandit ji has already made.
  2. Matched before shortlisting. Every profile on your shortlist has already been kundli matched against your son or daughter.
  3. Then the family match. Your Relationship Manager checks values, community, education and business, and speaks to the other family first.
  4. One person to ask. Questions about a score or a dosha go to your Relationship Manager, who stays with you until both families decide.

Questions about kundli matching

What is a good Guna Milan score for marriage?

The Guna Milan score is out of 36. Traditionally, 18 or more is considered acceptable, 25 to 32 a good match and 33 or more excellent. A score below 18 is usually not recommended. At Pavitra Rishta the score is checked before a proposal reaches you, along with the Manglik status of both sides.

Does Pavitra Rishta match kundli for every proposal?

Yes. Kundli-matched matchmaking is what Pavitra Rishta is known for. Every proposal is kundli matched before it reaches your family, using the eight kootas of Guna Milan and a Manglik check. Your Relationship Manager then looks at community, education, family background and values. We have worked this way from Kolkata since 2006.

What details do you need to match a kundli?

We need the date of birth, the exact time of birth and the place of birth of the boy or girl. The time matters most, because it decides the ascendant and the Moon’s position. If your family already has a kundli made by your pandit ji, share it with your Relationship Manager as well.

What happens if the boy or girl is Manglik?

Manglik dosha comes from the position of Mars in the birth chart. Many families look for a Manglik match for a Manglik son or daughter. We check the Manglik status of both sides before a proposal is shared, so your family knows where it stands from the start.

Do you match kundlis for NRI families?

Yes. Kundli matching works the same way for a son or daughter born or living abroad. We need the date, time and city of birth. NRI families choose the Elite or Signature package, and every proposal is kundli matched before it reaches you.

Can we skip kundli matching?

Yes. Kundli matching is part of every search by default, but some families do not follow kundli. Tell your Relationship Manager at the first meeting and it is left out. Your shortlist is then built on community, values, education, business and family background alone.

Is a high Guna Milan score enough on its own?

No. A good score tells you the horoscopes suit each other. It does not tell you whether the families do. That is why your Relationship Manager also checks values, community, education, business and where the couple will live, and speaks to the other family before you meet them.
