In Indian culture, marriage is considered a sacred union that brings two individuals and their families together. Kundli matching, also known as horoscope matching, plays a significant role in assessing the compatibility of the prospective bride and groom.
UNLOCKING VEDIC WISDOM ASHTAKOOT MATCHING & ITS SIGNIFICANCE

Among the various methods used for compatibility analysis, the Ashtakoot system is widely employed. The Ashtakoot system assigns numerical points to eight different aspects of the horoscopes, indicating the level of compatibility between the couple. Let's delve into the intricacies of the 8 Ashtakoot points and their significance in Indian Kundli matching.

Varna (1 Point)

Varna refers to the spiritual and intellectual compatibility between the couple. It assesses the temperament, behaviour, and nature of the individuals. The four varnas are Brahmin (priestly class), Kshatriya (warrior class), Vaishya (merchant class), and Shudra (labourer class). Higher compatibility in Varna suggests that the couple's spiritual and intellectual inclinations align well, resulting in a deeper understanding and harmony between them.

Varna koota matching rule suggests that Brahaman Varna should be of the first order, followed by Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra. Apart from this, the varna of the bridegroom must be superior or the same as the bride's for better points in the Guna system. In case the varna of the bride is superior, no point is added to the Guna system.

Vashya (2 Points)

Vashya examines the dominance and control one partner has over the other. It determines the level of influence and attraction in the relationship. There are five Vashya categories: Manav (human), Vanchar (wild animals), Chatushpad (small animals), Jalchar (aquatic animals), and Keet (insects). Compatibility in Vashya indicates a sense of balance and respect within the partnership, where neither partner dominates the other excessively.
