Compatibility Guide
Two ways to look at a match — the traditional porutham (for the elders) and a modern Gen-Z compatibility check (for the couple). For the star-by-star score, use the Horoscope Match calculator.

Gothram, Rasi & Nakshatra Matching
Gothram & Kulam Rule
- Gothram must be different. Marriage within the same gothram (sagotra) is traditionally not allowed — the families are considered to share a common ancestor. So the bride's and groom's gothrams should not match.
- Same kulam / kula deivam: customs vary — many families avoid alliances within the same kulam or with the same kula deivam, while others allow it as long as the gothram differs. Confirm with your elders.
- ✓ Different gothram = acceptable · ✗ Same gothram = avoided
Best Rasi (Moon Sign) Matches

Best Nakshatra (Star) Matches
