- Traditionally 18/36 is the minimum acceptable score, 24/36 is considered a good match, and 32+/36 is excellent. This pairing scores 17/36 — caution. Always verify with full chart analysis including Manglik, 7th-house, and navamsa (D9).
- What if the Nadi Koot score is zero for this pair?
- Nadi Dosha (same nadi) is the heaviest koot — 8 points out of 36. However, Jyotish prescribes classical cancellations (Nadi Bhanga): same rashi, same nakshatra, or rashi-lord friendship cancel the dosha. Consult a full-chart analysis, not just the numeric score.
