In Hindu astrology, Gana Koota is one of the eight elements (Ashtakoota) that are used to match horoscopes during the marriage process. Marriage is highly valued, and astrology plays a significant part in matchmaking. Indians hold a strong religious conviction in the use of Kundli for marriage. There are a total of nine aspects/Gunas (Koota) in Kundli. These eight aspects are Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoota, and Nadi. Depending on their importance or function in determining various areas of a couple's compatibility, these aspects are measured by numeric values.
