| Tara | 3 | Birth star compatibility |
| Yoni | 4 | Physical & sexual compatibility |
| Graha Maitri | 5 | Mental compatibility |
| Gana | 6 | Temperament match |
| Bhakoot | 7 | Love & family happiness |
| Nadi | 8 | Health & genetic compatibility |

How Many Points Should Match?

What is Manglik Dosha?
Manglik Dosha (Mangal Dosha) occurs when Mars is placed in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th, or 12th house of the Kundli. It is believed to cause delays or difficulties in marriage.
