Most kundli doshas — Manglik, Nadi, Bhakoot and Gana — have classical cancellation (bhang) conditions that neutralise them, so a flagged dosha is rarely an automatic rejection.
Kundli Doshas Explained — And When They Cancel
A dosha in the kundli is not an automatic no. Most doshas have classical cancellation (bhang) conditions that neutralise them — and families often reject good matches without checking these. Below is a guide to every major dosha in marriage matching, what it means, and exactly when it cancels. Start with the dosha flagged in your match.
Manglik Dosha (Mangal Dosha)
Mars in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house. Learn the 6 classical cancellation conditions and whether it actually affects your marriage.
Nadi Dosha
Same Nadi between partners costs the highest 8 gunas. Learn the exceptions that cancel it and when it genuinely matters.
Bhakoot Dosha (Rashi Dosha)
Certain moon-sign distances (2/12, 6/8, 9/5) are considered inauspicious. See the cancellation rules and real-world impact.
Gana Dosha
Deva, Manushya and Rakshasa gana mismatches affect temperament compatibility. Learn which combinations are exempt.
