आमच्या पत्रिकेत 27 गुण जुळतात पण नाडी एकच आहे. Is the match off because of nadi, or can you check properly?
Please send both birth details. With nadi at zero, 27 is close to the highest possible. I will check which nadi you share and whether your stars or Moon signs meet one of the standard exceptions.
Short answer
Marathi kundali milan, or patrika julvane, compares two patrikas with the eight kootas and 36 gunas also used across North India. The Marathi difference lies in the questions: families ask first about nadi, because a shared nadi scores zero out of 8. Muhurta Chintamani lists exceptions for it. On Kismo, verified Vedic astrologers read both patrikas by chat or call, online from anywhere.
What are the key facts about kundli matching?
| Answer | |
|---|---|
| Marathi words | Patrika (birth paper), patrika julvane (matching), gun milan, nadi 12 |
| The method | Eight kootas, 36 gunas, the same as North Indian guna milan 3 |
| The question families ask most | Whether both partners share a nadi, which scores 0 of 8 3 |
| The three nadis | Adi, madhya and antya, each holding nine of the 27 stars 2 |
| What to bring | Both patrikas, or both birth dates, times and places |
| Session on Kismo | From ₹15 a minute by chat or call, 5 free minutes on the first session, from Pune, Mumbai or anywhere |
What does an astrologer check in a Marathi kundali milan?
- The gun milan total. Muhurta Chintamani verse 21 lists the eight kootas, from varna worth 1 to nadi worth 8 3.
- Which nadi each partner has. Molesworth's Marathi dictionary names the three as adi, madhya and antya nadi, nine stars each 2.
- Whether the shared nadi is the middle one. Muhurta Chintamani verse 34 treats the madhya nadi as the most serious 3.
- The nadi exceptions. Verse 37 lifts the dosha when the couple share a Moon sign but not a star, or share a star in different padas 3.
- Both patrikas as a whole. A score settles nothing about the 7th house, Mars or the dashas, which need the full chart.
What changes the answer in a Marathi patrika match?
- Which nadi you share. A shared madhya nadi is read most strictly. The Godavari crosses Maharashtra, so astrologers differ on the commentary's southern waiver for the side nadis 3.
- Whether a verse 37 exception applies. Same Moon sign with different stars, or the same star in different padas, removes nadi dosha 3.
- Whether the astrologer counts nadi by pada. Raman allows nadi to be reckoned by the star's quarter when the stars clash 4.
- How the rest of the score falls. A 27 with nadi at zero leaves every other koota nearly full, which many astrologers weigh.
What do patrika, gun milan and nadi mean in Marathi?
Patrika is the Marathi word for the birth paper, gun milan is the 36-point score, and nadi is one of three groups of birth stars. Molesworth's Marathi dictionary records patrika and nadi in exactly these senses 12.
| Marathi | Transliteration | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| पत्रिका | patrika | The paper recording a birth's planets, and the astrologer's writing at marriages 1 |
| पत्रिका जुळवणे | patrika julvane | To match two patrikas |
| गुण मिलन | gun milan | The eight-koota score out of 36 3 |
| नाडी | nadi | A division of the 27 stars into three groups of nine 2 |
| नाडीचक्र | nadichakra | The diagram that arranges the stars in their three nadis 2 |
The Muhurta Chintamani commentary records that some regions count four or five nadis, while three nadis are accepted everywhere 3. Marathi practice follows the three.
How do Marathi families arrange marriages today?
Maharashtra mixes northern and southern habits, in the 2004-05 India Human Development Survey. Few brides knew their husband beforehand, yet 26% married a cousin or relative, a southern pattern 5.
| Maharashtra and Goa, IHDS 2004-05 | Share of married women |
|---|---|
| Knew the husband before marriage | 17% |
| Had any say in choosing the husband | 70% |
| Married a cousin or relative | 26% |
| Married within the same village or town | 12% |
| Last child born at the natal home | 35% |
Maharashtra also has a strong anti-superstition movement that promotes marriage across caste lines. In July 2025 the Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti opened a free inter-caste and interfaith matchmaking centre in Pune, urging marriage under the Special Marriage Act or Satyashodhak rites 6.
Families on both sides of that debate ask what a patrika really says. A Kismo astrologer can explain the score, the nadi and its exceptions, but cannot overrule a family's choice. Legal questions about a registered marriage belong with a lawyer.
When does a shared nadi not count in Marathi gun milan?
A shared nadi does not count, in Muhurta Chintamani, when the couple's stars and signs fall in certain patterns. Raman adds his own conditions, and schools apply them differently.
| Pattern | Result | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Same Moon sign, different stars | Nadi and gana dosha do not apply | 3 |
| Same star, different Moon signs | Nadi and gana dosha do not apply | 3 |
| Same star, different padas | Nadi and gana dosha do not apply | 3 |
| Rasi and rajju agree, and one planet rules both Moon signs | Nadi can be ignored, in Raman's reading | 4 |
| Stars clash, but their padas fall in different nadis | Raman counts nadi by pada | 4 |
The full set of nadi rules, with each nadi on its own, is on the nadi dosha page.
What do people get wrong about this?
Belief: A shared nadi always means the proposal has to be dropped.
Muhurta Chintamani verse 37 names three star and sign patterns that lift nadi dosha 3. Each case needs checking.
Belief: A gun milan above 18 means the patrikas match.
Muhurta Chintamani verse 21 sets no 18-point line, and a score can pass 18 with nadi at zero 3. The total and the zeros are read together.

Questions people ask
How many gun should match in a Marathi patrika for marriage?
Most Marathi families look for 18 or more of 36 gun, but that number is a custom rather than a rule in the source text. Muhurta Chintamani says only that a higher score is better. Many astrologers also look at which kootas scored zero, and nadi is the one Marathi families ask about most.
Our patrikas have the same nadi. Can we still marry?
Often yes, depending on the exceptions. Muhurta Chintamani lifts nadi dosha when you share a Moon sign but not a star, share a star but not a Moon sign, or share a star in different padas. Raman adds conditions too. Ask an astrologer to check which, if any, fits your two patrikas.
Can gun milan be done in Marathi by name only?
Gun milan by name is possible but gives only a substitute result. The name's first syllable stands in for a birth star, which is often not the real one. If the birth date, time and place are known, a patrika match is what astrologers prefer. The by-name page explains when name matching is used.
Can I talk to an astrologer in Marathi about our patrikas on Kismo?
Yes, you can ask about your patrikas on Kismo by chat or call, online from anywhere in India and abroad. Kismo is an app where you talk to verified Vedic astrologers by chat or call, in 16 languages. Each astrologer passes a qualification review, a panel interview, live audits of real sessions and a 30-day probation.
How much does a Marathi kundali milan session cost on Kismo?
A kundali milan session on Kismo costs the astrologer's rate per started minute, from ₹15, and your first session has 5 free minutes. You top up a wallet with at least ₹100, and unused money stays there. After the session the app suggests up to three other astrologers for a second opinion.
A guruji says our nadi dosha needs a costly shanti before the wedding. Is that a scam?
Not always a scam, but pressure to pay is a red flag. First check whether one of the verse 37 exceptions already lifts the nadi dosha, which costs nothing. The commentary names japa as a traditional remedy, among others. Get a second opinion before paying for any ritual, and remember no ritual comes with a guarantee.
