Ashtakoot Score Index

Kundli Matching Score — Good or Bad? Complete 0-36 Guide

Ashtakoot Guna Milan scoring is the classical Vedic framework used to estimate marriage compatibility by comparing the Moon-based nakshatra positions of two charts. The system totals 36 points because eight separate kootas are evaluated together and each koota contributes a fixed maximum score. These are Varna (1), Vashya (2), Tara (3), Yoni (4), Graha Maitri (5), Gana (6), Bhakoot (7), and Nadi (8), adding up to 36. A higher score usually indicates better overall harmony, but the score should never be read in isolation from doshas, dasha timing, and real-life temperament. This guide helps you interpret every score from 0/36 to 36/36 with range-level meaning and direct links to each detailed page. If your score is low, you can see why traditional pandits advise caution and what remedies are typically considered. If your score is high, you can understand why that range is viewed as favorable for stability, emotional alignment, and family life.
