every score from 0 to 36

What each score means
The bands the matching engine uses
| Gun | Level | What it means | Real couples |
|---|---|---|---|
| 32–36 | Excellent | Very well matched, and very auspicious for marriage. | 2% |
| 28–31 | Very good | Strongly matched, and recommended for marriage. | 9.6% |
| 24–27 | Good | Well matched, and suitable for marriage. | 24.9% |
| 18–23 | Average | Acceptable: marriage is possible with some give and take. | 35.3% |
| 12–17 | Below average | Some kootas do not match, so think it through carefully. | 21.5% |
| 0–11 | Poor | Many kootas do not match; not advised without remedies. | 6.8% |
Eighteen of 36 is the traditional minimum for a marriage. Above it, the doshas weigh more than a few extra points: a 30 with an uncancelled Nadi dosha needs more care than a 22 without one.
