Chitra and Dhanishta Nakshatra Compatibility
Chitra and Dhanishta score 18 of 36 gunas in the classical Guna Milan used for marriage matching. That is right around the eighteen-point line many families treat as the minimum, so the kootas that score zero deserve a proper conversation rather than a shrug.
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 | 1 / 2 | Partial |
| Tara how each of you affects the other's luck and wellbeing | 0 / 3 | None |
| Yoni physical and emotional intimacy compatibility | 1 / 4 | Partial |
| Graha Maitri mental compatibility — how alike your thinking styles are | 3 / 5 | Partial |
| Gana temperament — calm, balanced, or intense natures matching up | 6 / 6 | Full |
| 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 Chitra and Dhanishta
Both stars belong to the Rakshasa gana, so Gana — the temperament koota — scores its full 6 points. Temperament is where day-to-day friction shows up first, and matching here is worth more than its number suggests.
Nadi scores 0 of 8: in this calculation Chitra 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 1 of 4, a neutral pairing on the intimacy koota. Tara scores 0 of 3 on the star-distance count between Chitra and Dhanishta.
With the moon in Kanya (Virgo) and Makara (Capricorn), Bhakoot scores its full 7 — the signs are not in the 6/8 position that this calculator flags as Bhakoot dosha. Kanya is ruled by Mercury and Makara by Saturn, which sets Graha Maitri at 3 of 5 and Vashya at 1 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. Chitra spans two signs — padas 1, 2 in Kanya; padas 3, 4 in Tula — and this page takes Kanya (the earlier of an even split). 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 Chitra and Dhanishta a good match for marriage?
Chitra and Dhanishta score 18 of 36 gunas in TrueSaath's Guna Milan calculator, which reads it as "Acceptable — some areas need discussion". That is right around the eighteen-point line many families treat as the minimum, so the kootas that score zero deserve a proper conversation rather than a shrug. 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 Chitra and Dhanishta?
18 of 36: 7 of the 21 star-based points (Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi) and 11 of the 15 sign-based points (Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot), taking the moon in Kanya for Chitra and Makara for Dhanishta.
Is there nadi dosha between Chitra and Dhanishta?
Yes, in this calculation: Chitra 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 Chitra and Dhanishta is the boy's star?
Not in this calculator: every koota it scores is symmetric, so Dhanishta and Chitra give the same 18 of 36. Some traditional methods count Tara from the girl's star only and can differ by a point or two.
