Indastro Temperamental Match Score Explained: What 32/36 and 91% Actually Mean

A temperamental match score from Indastro is their label for the standard Vedic gun milan score, the 36-point Ashtakoot compatibility system. A score of 32/36 means 89% compatibility. Indastro rounds this to 91% in some reports because of a slightly different ayanamsa calculation. Either way, 32/36 is an excellent result.

If you are comparing calculators, start with the base reading: 32 out of 36 is already a very strong marriage score. Then check the two things families still ask about after a high score: Nadi dosha and Manglik status.

What "temperamental match" means in Vedic astrology

Indastro uses the phrase "temperamental match" for the overall Ashtakoot score. That wording points most directly to Gana koota, the part of kundli matching that looks at temperament, emotional style, and day-to-day behavior.

But Gana is only one part. It carries 6 out of the 36 points. So a 32/36 result is not only about temperament. It is the sum of all eight kootas working together.

• Varna (1 point): basic spiritual and value alignment.
• Vasya (2 points): mutual influence and control pattern.
• Tara (3 points): health, luck, and rhythm between partners.
• Yoni (4 points): instinctive attraction and intimacy pattern.
• Graha Maitri (5 points): mental friendship and planetary support.
• Gana (6 points): temperament and day-to-day behavior match.
• Bhakoot (7 points): emotional flow and long-term household pattern.
• Nadi (8 points): the highest-weight factor, tied to health and lineage compatibility.

That is the part many readers miss. "Temperamental" is Indastro's branding. It is not a separate compatibility system outside classic kundli milan.

So when you see 32/36 in an Indastro report, read it as: strong full-score compatibility, with good support from Gana and the rest of the kootas, not only a personality label.

Why Indastro shows 91% for a 32/36 score

The plain math is simple. 32 divided by 36 equals 88.9%. Standard rounding makes that 89%.

So why do some Indastro reports show 91%? Usually because the software is not displaying only the visible whole-number score. It may be carrying a more granular value behind the scenes, something like 32.7 out of 36, based on its ayanamsa and rule set.

This is normal. Different Vedic calculators can differ by 1-3 points. Birth-time handling, ayanamsa choice, and small interpretation rules all play a part (especially for NRI charts entered from US time zones).

The honest takeaway is boring, but useful. A shift from 89% to 91% does not change the verdict. A 32+ score sits in the excellent band across systems. If you want to compare the meaning across pages, see our other Indastro 32/36 explainer and the broader NRI matching flow.

What to check after a strong temperamental match score

A high gun milan score helps. It does not finish the analysis.

First, do not assume a strong total means Nadi is clean. Nadi carries 8 of the 36 points, the highest single weight in the full system. Families often ask about it separately anyway, because a Nadi objection can still affect the marriage discussion even when the total score looks excellent.

Second, Manglik dosha sits outside the 36-point score. Completely separate check. You can have 32/36 and still need a Manglik review, especially if one side has Mars in a marriage-sensitive house and the other family already knows the word "Manglik."

Third, check the chart context. A couple may have a high total score but still need a closer look at dosha overlap, marriage timing, and whether the birth data was entered correctly. This matters more for couples born in the US, Canada, the UK, or Australia, where daylight saving mistakes show up often.

In practice, the usual sequence is simple:

1. Confirm the base score and read the 32/36 interpretation.
2. Check Nadi dosha separately.
3. Review Manglik status outside the score.
4. Use a second opinion if two calculators disagree or the families want a written English summary.

Getting a documented second-opinion in English

If your Indastro report says 32/36 and 91%, the next useful step is not another vague calculator. It is a documented second opinion that tells you what the score means, whether Nadi dosha is present, and whether Manglik needs attention.

This is especially useful for NRIs. One clean English report is easier to share with parents, your partner, or a non-Indian fiancé(e) than a screenshot full of labels.
