In India, 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 eight 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. If these kootas do not match or align correctly with the prospective bride and groom’s horoscope, then they are called Doshas. The eight koota make up a kundli, which in turn creates 36 gunas in a marriage. These eight elements of a kundli determine whether a relationship is compatible or not. Out of these eight matchmaking factors, four—Graha Maitri, Gan, Bhakoot, and Nadi — are more significant than the others.
