Kundli matching, without the fear tax

Kundli matching — guna milan, kundali milan, or porutham in the south — compares two birth charts before marriage. The familiar figure is a score out of 36, drawn from eight kootas of unequal weight, from Varna at a single point to Nadi at eight.

AskVeda computes that score with Swiss Ephemeris and the Lahiri ayanamsa, and shows every part of it free: each koota with its points, the 10 Porutham view alongside, and each of Mangal, Nadi and Bhakoot dosha with whether a classical cancellation applies. That last part matters most. Much of this category charges to tell you whether a dosha you have been frightened about actually holds. We think resolving a fear should be free, and that depth is the only thing worth paying for.

What we will not do is give you a verdict. A score describes what the kootas measured. It does not decide a marriage, and neither do we — in either direction. We also sell no remedies: no gemstones, no pujas, nothing that turns a reading into a purchase order.

What the paid report adds

The Marriage Dossier is ₹499, once, for that pair forever. Its centre is something a calculator cannot produce: both people's Vimshottari dasha sequences laid over each other for fifteen years, divided at every genuine change in either chart, so you can see which stretches ask more of the two of you and when. Alongside it sits the navamsa marriage seat — the classical place marriage is judged, which koota arithmetic ignores entirely — the reasoning behind each dosha, an explanation of what the score actually measured, and a formal one-page summary written to be shown to family.

If a birth time turns out to be wrong, the re-check is free. Nobody is ever notified that a match was run, and the other person is never contacted.
