The 6 Vital Astrological Markers in Indian Biodata
1. Rashi (Moon Sign / चंद्र राशि)
Unlike Western astrology which follows the Sun sign, Vedic astrology prioritizes the Moon's position at birth. The 12 Rashis (Mesha to Meena) govern emotional temperaments, mindsets, and interpersonal dynamics.
2. Nakshatra & Charan (नक्षत्र एवं चरण)
The lunar zodiac is partitioned into 27 Nakshatras (e.g. Ashwini, Rohini, Swati), each divided into 4 quarters (Charans / Padas). Nakshatras define behavioral inclinations and are essential for Gun Milan.
3. Manglik Dosha (मांगलिक दोष)
Formed when Mars (Mangal) occupies certain astrological houses. Families traditionally seek a Manglik match for a Manglik candidate, though modern astrological consensus often accepts Anshik (partial) matches.
4. Gana (गण - देव, मनुष्य, राक्षस)
Categorizes temperamental nature into Deva (divine/gentle), Manushya (human/balanced), or Rakshasa (bold/fierce). Similar Ganas harmonize easily in family life.
5. Nadi (नाड़ी - आदि, मध्य, अंत्य)
Carries the highest weight (8 points) in Ashta-Koota Milan. Traditionally connected with genetic vitality and health harmony. Same-Nadi (Nadi Dosha) matches are often evaluated with astrological remedies.
6. Gotra & Kuldevi (गोत्र)
Denotes ancestral paternal lineage tracing to ancient Vedic sages (Rishis). Traditional Hindu customs avoid marriage within the same Gotra (Sagotra) to prevent genetic redundancy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don't know my exact time of birth?
If your exact birth time is not recorded on your birth certificate or family horoscope, you can toggle off the Astrological Details section entirely, or enter 'Time Not Known' in our builder.
Can I manually modify the auto-calculated Kundali fields?
Yes! Every single field generated by our algorithm remains 100% editable. If your family pandit follows a specific regional panchang or tradition, you can simply type your customary Rashi, Nakshatra, or Gotra.
What are the 36 Gunas in horoscope matching?
The Ashta-Koota system evaluates 8 aspects: Varna (1 point), Vashya (2 points), Tara (3 points), Yoni (4 points), Graha Maitri (5 points), Gana (6 points), Bhakoot (7 points), and Nadi (8 points), totaling 36 Gunas. A score of 18 or above is traditionally considered auspicious.
