What is a good guna score for marriage?

In traditional Ashtakoot gun milan, 18 out of 36 is the minimum acceptable score. Scores of 24-32 are considered good to excellent. Above 32 is rare and highly auspicious. Below 18, pandits usually recommend checking dosha cancellation before proceeding.

Is 16 out of 36 guna match good for marriage?

16/36 is below the traditional minimum of 18 gunas. It indicates weak compatibility on key Ashtakoot factors. Marriage may still be possible if major doshas (Nadi, Bhakoot, Manglik) are absent or cancelled, but a qualified astrologer should verify the full horoscope before deciding.

Where to Go for What

Outer Lane / Babu Market (wedding-specific)

The dedicated wedding lane. Designer sarees, Anarkali suits, lehengas, saree-lehengas. Start here for any wedding outfit shopping. Ashok Tracers in Babu Market for ready-made safas, gotapatti material, wedding essentials from Rs 50.

Main Market Stalls

Dense export surplus stalls. Party wear, kurtis, ethnic sets, dresses. First quotes are inflated 3x — counter at 40-50% below. Best for family function wear at Rs 500-2,000 per outfit.

Footwear and Accessories Cluster

Footwear starting Rs 150 (wedges, heels, ethnic sandals). Jewellery from Rs 30 (light pieces), Rs 100 (heavier trinkets). Bangles/chooda from Rs 100. Punjab Silk Store for unstitched groom outfits at wholesale prices from Rs 500.

Quality Checks for Export Surplus

✓Export surplus means genuine quality — but check for stains, holes, and faulty zippers before paying. These are the most common reject reasons.
✓Run your finger firmly along all seams — export surplus sometimes has loose side-seam stitching that will open with one wear.
✓Check embroidery at the neckline and waistband — the two stress points where embroidery breaks first on budget pieces.
✓Colour fastness check: dampen your thumb and press hard on a brightly dyed section. Any colour transfer means the dye will run in the first wash.
✓Avoid cosmetics and skincare from street stalls — counterfeit risk is real. Only clothing, footwear, and accessories are safe to buy here.

How to Negotiate

→Counter the first price at 40-50% below the ask. The realistic settled price is 50-60% of the first quote — the initial markup runs up to 3x on most items.
→Watch for 'Fixed Price' signs — some stalls are genuinely fixed. Do not waste time bargaining there; move to the next stall.
→Cash is essential — many smaller stalls and jewellery counters do not reliably accept UPI or cards. Carry enough.
→Buy multiple items from the same stall in a single negotiation. The combined-lot discount brings per-item cost down meaningfully.
→Best bargaining window: Tuesday-Thursday 10 AM to 4 PM. Fresh stock arrives Tuesday and Thursday mornings — best selection and freshest shopkeeper energy.

Logistics

How to reach

Sarojini Nagar Metro Station on the Pink Line — the station exit opens directly in front of the market. INA on the Yellow Line is the alternative (10-minute walk). Autos available from INA Metro.

Best time

Tuesday-Thursday between 11:30 AM and 4 PM — lightest crowds, best bargaining. Market opens at 10 AM. Avoid weekends entirely — the crowds make focused shopping nearly impossible.

What to avoid

Weekends. Cosmetics from street stalls (counterfeit risk). The main bridal lehenga — quality ceiling is too low for the wedding day outfit. Pickpocket awareness needed in peak crowds — keep valuables secured.
