Purva Bhadrapada and Anuradha Porutham
With Purva Bhadrapada as the bride's star and Anuradha as the groom's, 7 of the ten poruthams are present. That is comfortably above the line most families use, with Rajju intact.
The ten poruthams
| Porutham · what it reads | Result | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Dina day-to-day wellbeing, health and prosperity in the marriage | Present | Counted from Purva Bhadrapada to Anuradha the gap is 20, which leaves 2 on division by nine. |
| Gana temperament — whether two natures sit easily together | Present | Purva Bhadrapada is a Manushya star and Anuradha a Deva star. |
| Mahendra children and the continuation of the family line | Absent | The count from Purva Bhadrapada to Anuradha is 20. |
| Stree Deergha the wife's long life and security | Present | The count from Purva Bhadrapada to Anuradha is 20. |
| Yoni physical and emotional intimacy | Present | Purva Bhadrapada is the lion yoni and Anuradha the deer. |
| Rasi how the two families and fortunes sit together over time | Present | Counted from Kumbha, Vrishchika is the 10th sign, and counted back it is the 4th. |
| Rasyathipathi friendship between the planets ruling the two signs | Absent | Kumbha is ruled by Saturn and Vrishchika by Mars, which are not friends. |
| Vasya mutual attraction and the natural pull between the two | Absent | Kumbha and Vrishchika are not a vasya pair. |
| Rajju the length and safety of the marriage itself | Present | Purva Bhadrapada falls in the Nabhi rajju and Anuradha in the Kati. |
| Vedha whether the two stars obstruct each other | Present | Purva Bhadrapada and Anuradha are not a vedha pair. |
What this means for Purva Bhadrapada and Anuradha
The ones that are not present are Mahendra, Rasyathipathi and Vasya. Rajju is present, which is the single result most families check first.
Purva Bhadrapada is a Manushya gana star of the lion yoni, in the Nabhi rajju; Anuradha is Deva gana, deer yoni, Kati rajju. For the four sign-based poruthams this page takes the moon in Kumbha for Purva Bhadrapada and Vrishchika for Anuradha, which is where each star's padas mostly fall.
The other way round
Porutham is not symmetric. With Anuradha as the bride's star and Purva Bhadrapada as the groom's, the result is 6 of ten. Dina and Stree Deergha are counted from the bride's star forward, so they change; the other eight do not.
And in the North Indian system
The same two stars score 23 of 36 gunas in Ashtakoota Guna Milan, which most North and West Indian families use. The two systems read overlapping material and weigh it very differently, so a pairing can look strong in one and ordinary in the other. Neither is a correction of the other; families use the one their own tradition uses.
How each porutham was judged
| Porutham | Rule applied |
|---|---|
| Dina | Counted from the bride's star to the groom's and divided by nine; remainders 2, 4, 6, 8 and 0 are held to be favourable. |
| Gana | Present when both belong to the same gana, and accepted when Deva meets Manushya; Deva with Rakshasa is held to be the difficult pairing. |
| Mahendra | Present when the count from the bride's star to the groom's is 4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22 or 25. |
| Stree Deergha | Present when the groom's star lies more than thirteen from the bride's, counted forward. Some traditions accept more than nine. |
| Yoni | Best when both share an animal, absent when the two animals are traditional enemies, and accepted otherwise. |
| Rasi | Absent when the two signs fall in the 2/12 or 6/8 relationship either way round, and present otherwise. |
| Rasyathipathi | Present when the two sign lords are the same planet or are friends in the classical table. |
| Vasya | Present when either sign is vasya to the other in the classical table, or when both share a sign. |
| Rajju | Present when the two stars fall in different rajjus. Sharing a rajju is the one result many families treat as decisive on its own. |
| Vedha | Absent only for the thirteen pairs of stars held to pierce each other; every other pairing is present. |
Published sources genuinely differ on Dina, on whether Stree Deergha wants a gap of more than nine or more than thirteen, and on the Vedha list. That is why two websites give the same couple different answers. The rules used here are printed above so you can see exactly which tradition this follows and where your family astrologer may differ.
