Kundli matching by name

No birth time? Families match by naam akshar: the first syllable of each name gives a nakshatra, and the two are scored on all 36 gun, the same eight kootas as kundli milan.

  • All 36 gun, across the eight kootas
  • Nadi and Bhakoot dosha checked
  • Names in English or Hindi
राChitra · pada 3 · Tula (Libra)
ताSwati · pada 4 · Tula (Libra)

Spelt in English, this could also be:

Use the name each one is called by. Only the first name is read.

Know both birth times? Match the kundlis: the Moon's real nakshatra, and Mangal dosha too.

Each koota gets a part of the ring as big as the gun it is worth, filled as far as it scored. So the filled part of the ring is your score, and the empty part shows which koota lost it. The eight cards below run in the same order as the arcs, starting at the top and going clockwise.

Strongly in favour — the classical signs all point the same good way.

02

The 8 kootas

what each one checks
Varnaof 1
Nature and outlook
BoyShudra (service)
GirlShudra (service)

The boy’s varna is the same as or above the girl’s, which is what this koota asks for.

Vashyaof 2
Who listens to whom
BoyManava (human)
GirlManava (human)

The same vashya: the easiest give and take.

Taraof 3
Luck and health together
Girl → BoyAti-Mitra (close friend)
Boy → GirlSampat (wealth)

Counted both ways, both taras are good ones.

Yoniof 4
Physical closeness
BoyTiger, female
GirlBuffalo, male

The two yonis are mildly at odds, so some friction is possible.

What the missing 3 gun coverLess ease with physical closeness.

Graha Maitriof 5
How well your minds get on
BoyVenus
GirlVenus
Between the two lordsThe same graha rules both Moons

Full marks: the two minds meet easily.

Ganaof 6
Temper and habits
BoyRakshasa: strong-willed, independent
GirlDeva: gentle, giving

Deva and Rakshasa: very different temperaments, and clashes are likely.

What the missing 6 gun coverTemperaments that clash at home now and then.

Bhakootof 7
Love, family and growth
BoyLibra
GirlLibra

The two Moons are in the same rashi, a good position: all 7 gun.

Nadiof 8
Health and children
BoyMadhya (Pitta)
GirlAntya (Kapha)

Different nadis: the full 8 gun.

Each koota explained, with its full table: Varna · Vashya · Tara · Yoni · Graha Maitri · Gana · Bhakoot · Nadi · How many gun should match

Doshas

what a name can and cannot show
Nadi doshaNoworth 8 gun — the one most pandits check first
BoyMadhya (Pitta)
GirlAntya (Kapha)

    Nadi comes from the Moon’s nakshatra, and the rule is simple: the two people should not have the same one. It is worth 8 gun of the 36 — more than any other koota — because it is read for health and for children.

    Bhakoot doshaNoworth 7 gun — read for love, family and growth
    The two MoonsLibra · Libra
    Distance1

      Bhakoot is the distance between the two Moon rashis. Three of those distances — 6/8, 2/12 and 5/9 — are read as Bhakoot dosha, and they take away all 7 gun.

      Mangal doshaNeeds birth detailsnot read from a name

      Mangal dosha is Mars in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house, counted from the lagna. A name gives the Moon's nakshatra and nothing about Mars or the lagna, so it cannot say. Families who know both birth times check it in kundli milan. Match the kundlis →

      What a name can and cannot tell youA match by name is a stand-in for the birth chart, used when nobody knows the time. It reads one syllable of each name; it knows nothing else about the two of you. Take it as a first look, and match the kundlis before a decision.

      The naam akshar of all 27 nakshatras

      where your two names sit

      Each nakshatra has four padas and each pada one syllable: the naam akshar a child is named by at namkaran. The two names above are lit. A syllable two padas share, like दा, is read as the first.

      How it works

      no hidden steps
      1. 1
        Take the first syllable of the name

        Of the name the person is called by: Rahul is Ra, Shreya is She. Only the first name is read.

      2. 2
        Find its nakshatra pada

        रा is the third pada of Chitra, which lies in Tula rashi. That is the Moon the name stands for.

      3. 3
        Score the eight kootas

        The two nakshatras and rashis go through the same eight kootas as kundli milan, 36 gun in all, with Nadi and Bhakoot dosha checked.

      4. 4
        Mangal dosha is not read

        It needs Mars and the lagna, which only a birth time gives.

      Common questions

      5 questions
      Is kundli matching by name accurate?

      It is the traditional way when a birth time is not known. Matching by birth details is better: it uses the Moon's real nakshatra. If the name was given from the naam akshar at namkaran, the two agree; many names today were not, and then the name is only a stand-in.

      Which name should I use: the pet name or the official one?

      The name the person is known and called by (the prasiddh naam) is the one read for name matching. If the family calls someone by a pet name all the time, many pandits read that one.

      My name starts with T or D. Why does it offer two readings?

      English letters cannot tell त from ट or द from ड, and they are different padas: Tanvi can be ता (Swati) or टा (Purva Phalguni). The common sound is chosen first; pick the other if that is how the name is written in Hindi.

      How many gun should match for a marriage?

      Out of 36, 18 or more is where most families start to say yes, 24 and above is good, and 28 and above very good. Nadi and Bhakoot are read alongside the total, not just the number.

      Why is Mangal dosha not checked?

      It is read from where Mars sits from the lagna, and a name says nothing about either. For Mangal dosha, match by birth details.
