Koota by koota
| Koota · what it measures | Points | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Varna spiritual and work-ethic compatibility | 0 / 1 | None |
| Vashya how naturally you'll influence and defer to each other, day to day | 0 / 2 | None |
| Tara how each of you affects the other's luck and wellbeing | 1 / 3 | Partial |
| Yoni physical and emotional intimacy compatibility | 2 / 4 | Partial |
| Graha Maitri mental compatibility — how alike your thinking styles are | 1 / 5 | Partial |
| Gana temperament — calm, balanced, or intense natures matching up | 0 / 6 | None |
| Bhakoot love, family growth, and financial harmony over time | 7 / 7 | Full |
| Nadi genetic and health compatibility, traditionally weighted most heavily | 0 / 8 | None |
What the numbers mean for Anuradha and Dhanishta
Anuradha is a Deva star and Dhanishta a Rakshasa star — the two ganas traditionally read as furthest apart, so Gana scores 0 of 6. This is the koota most often behind a low total between two otherwise compatible charts, and it is about temperament, not character.
Nadi scores 0 of 8: in this calculation Anuradha and Dhanishta fall in the same nadi, which is what is traditionally called nadi dosha. It is the single koota families weight most heavily, and the usual advice is to have an astrologer look at the full charts, where exemptions based on rashi and pada often apply.
Yoni scores 2 of 4 — a friendly rather than identical pairing on the intimacy koota. Tara scores 1 of 3 — a middling result for how each partner affects the other's fortune.
With the moon in Vrishchika (Scorpio) and Makara (Capricorn), Bhakoot scores its full 7 — the signs are not in the 6/8 position that this calculator flags as Bhakoot dosha. Vrishchika is ruled by Mars and Makara by Saturn, which sets Graha Maitri at 1 of 5 and Vashya at 0 of 2. Varna scores 0 of 1.

About the moon-sign assumption
Four kootas — Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot — read the moon sign, not the star, and a page about two stars has no birth details. All four padas of Anuradha fall in Vrishchika. Dhanishta spans two signs — padas 1, 2 in Makara; padas 3, 4 in Kumbha — and this page takes Makara (the earlier of an even split). The sign-based 15 points above therefore describe the usual case; a couple's own charts decide the real one.

Questions people ask
Is Anuradha and Dhanishta a good match for marriage?
Anuradha and Dhanishta score 11 of 36 gunas in TrueSaath's Guna Milan calculator, which reads it as "Low compatibility — consult an astrologer". That is a low score on the classical measures. Families who weight kundli heavily usually want an astrologer to look at the full charts before going further. A full kundli with both birth dates, times and places can move this figure, so use the free calculator for a real couple's exact result.
How many gunas match between Anuradha and Dhanishta?
11 of 36: 3 of the 21 star-based points (Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi) and 8 of the 15 sign-based points (Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot), taking the moon in Vrishchika for Anuradha and Makara for Dhanishta.
Is there nadi dosha between Anuradha and Dhanishta?
Yes, in this calculation: Anuradha and Dhanishta share a nadi, so Nadi scores 0 of 8. Classical exemptions based on rashi and pada often apply, which is why an astrologer's reading of the full charts is the usual next step.
Does it matter which of Anuradha and Dhanishta is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Dhanishta and Anuradha give the same 11 of 36. Some traditional methods count Tara from the girl's star only and can differ by a point or two.
