How many people speak Kannada, and where?
Kannada is the mother tongue of 4,37,06,512 people in India, about 4.4 crore, according to the Census of India 2011 1. That is 3.61% of the population, the eighth-largest language 1.
Kannada speakers grew by 15.99% between 2001 and 2011 1. Their share of the population was 3.96% in 1971 1.
| State or UT | Kannada speakers per 10,000 people (2011) |
|---|---|
| Karnataka | 6,654 |
| Goa | 466 |
| Tamil Nadu | 178 |
| Maharashtra | 89 |
| Andhra Pradesh (undivided) | 63 |
| Kerala | 26 |
Karnataka is one of India's most mixed-language states. Per 10,000 people there, 1,083 speak Urdu, 584 Telugu, 345 Tamil, 338 Marathi and 330 Hindi as their mother tongue 1. Many Karnataka matches therefore join a Kannada jataka with one written in another language.
What are the Kannada words for doshas, Saturn periods and matching?
Kannada astrology words are Sanskrit terms with Kannada endings, so a Kannada-speaking astrologer and family can go through the whole jataka without English. The table gives the common ones in Kannada script with how they are said.
| Kannada | Said as | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| ಜಾತಕ | jataka | The birth chart |
| ಜಾತಕ ಹೊಂದಾಣಿಕೆ | jataka hondanike | Matching two charts before marriage |
| ಗುಣ ಮಿಲನ | guna milana | The eight-koota score out of 36 8 |
| ನಾಡಿ ದೋಷ | nadi dosha | Both partners in the same nadi, the 8-point koota 8 |
| ಕುಜ ದೋಷ | kuja dosha | Mars in certain houses, read for marriage 2 |
| ಸಾಡೇಸಾತಿ ಶನಿ | sadesati shani | Saturn's seven-and-a-half-year transit around the Moon sign |
| ಅಷ್ಟಮ ಶನಿ | ashtama shani | Saturn in the 8th sign from the Moon sign |
| ಸರ್ಪ ದೋಷ / ಕಾಳ ಸರ್ಪ ದೋಷ | sarpa dosha / kala sarpa dosha | Serpent-related doshas; kala sarpa is all planets between Rahu and Ketu |
| ಪಿತೃ ದೋಷ | pitru dosha | A chart pattern linked to ancestors |
| ಪರಿಹಾರ | parihara | A remedy, such as a prayer or temple visit |
| ಮದುವೆ ಮುಹೂರ್ತ | maduve muhurta | The wedding time taken from the panchanga |
| ಆಷಾಢ ಮಾಸ | Ashada masa | The lunar month when weddings are put off 2 |
| ನಾಮಕರಣ | namakarana | The naming ceremony of a baby 2 |
Kannada matching usually means guna milana, the eight-koota scheme in Muhurta Chintamani that adds up to 36 points 8. Nadi is worth the most, 8 points, and varna the least, 1 8. An astrologer reads the total together with kuja dosha in both jatakas.
Kuja dosha is read from three points, not one. B. V. Raman, writing from Bangalore, counted Mars in the 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th from the lagna, the Moon and Venus 2. He treated it as cancelled when both charts have it 2.
On Kismo you can ask a Kannada-speaking astrologer about any of these, and each astrologer passes a qualification review, a panel interview, live audits and a 30-day probation first.
Which calendar do Kannada astrologers follow, and when are weddings avoided?
Kannada astrologers mostly follow a lunar calendar of the amanta kind, where each month ends on the new moon. Drik Panchang lists Karnataka among the amanta states 7. The year starts at Ugadi, on the first day of Chaitra 6.
Ugadi customs differ across Karnataka. In the southern districts people share bevu bella, neem with jaggery, according to the state's Department of Tourism 6. Farmers in Tumakuru and Chitradurga watch the rising moon at Ugadi, believing its direction hints at the coming harvest 6.
Ashada is the month Kannada families keep free of weddings. B. V. Raman noted in 1948 that people in Karnataka and Andhra objected to weddings in Ashadha 2. He named Magha, Phalguna, Vaisakha and Jyeshta as the good lunar months for marriage 2.
A newly married bride in Mysuru often spends her first Ashada at her parents' home. Star of Mysore describes the belief that a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law should not share a house that month 5. The husband fetches her back in Shravana, the month that follows 5.
Naming a baby has its own muhurta. Raman recommends the 10th, 12th or 16th day after birth for namakarana, and a name that suits the birth star 2.
Why is Bangalore an important centre of Vedic astrology?
Bangalore became a centre of Vedic astrology largely through one family. B. S. Rao started The Astrological Magazine in 1895, and his grandson B. V. Raman revived it in 1936 3. Raman died at his home in Bangalore on 20 December 1998 3.
Raman translated Prasna Marga, a Kerala classic of horary astrology, into English from Bangalore 4. He signed its preface there on 11 August 1980, and a Bangalore publisher, IBH Prakashana, brought it out 4. The work covers natal charts, muhurta, remedies and omens, not only horary questions 4.
Raman's own handbook on muhurta, first published in 1948, records how Karnataka practice differed from its neighbours 2. He also warned against rejecting a match on a few kootas while ignoring longevity and the 7th house 2.
Raman's work reached far beyond Karnataka. Hinduism Today reports he lectured in the West from 1959 and that the magazine introduced the sidereal zodiac to many Western astrologers 3. Kannada-speaking astrologers today often know both his English books and the Kannada panchanga.

Questions people ask
How can I talk to an astrologer in Kannada from my phone?
You can talk to an astrologer in Kannada from your phone through an astrology app that lists the languages each astrologer speaks. Pick one who lists Kannada, start a chat or a call, and give your birth date, time and place. You can type in Kannada script or in English letters. Parents can join the call and speak Kannada too.
What is jataka hondanike and how is it checked?
Jataka hondanike is the Kannada name for matching two horoscopes before marriage. Most Kannada astrologers start with guna milana, the eight-koota score out of 36, then check kuja dosha in both charts and the 7th house. Nadi carries the most points, 8. Ask the astrologer to explain any koota that scores zero rather than relying on the total alone.
What does it cost to consult a Kannada astrologer on Kismo?
Consulting a Kannada astrologer on Kismo costs from ₹15 a minute, at a single rate the astrologer sets for both chat and call. You top up a wallet with ₹100 or more and pay only for the minutes you start. The leftover balance stays for later. On your first session, 5 minutes are free and no card is needed.
Why do Kannada families avoid weddings in Ashada?
Kannada families avoid weddings in Ashada because the month is traditionally treated as unsuitable for marriage. B. V. Raman recorded in 1948 that people in Karnataka and Andhra objected to Ashadha weddings, while Tamil families did not. In Mysuru, a new bride often spends her first Ashada at her parents' home. Weddings pick up again in Shravana.
Does sarpa dosha mean I have to do an expensive puja?
No, a sarpa dosha reading does not mean you must pay for an expensive puja. Many astrologers first check whether the pattern is really present and what else the chart shows. Simple, free practices such as prayer are often suggested before any paid ritual. Never pay under pressure, and get a second opinion before booking any ritual.
How do I know an online Kannada astrologer is trustworthy?
A trustworthy astrologer explains the reasoning in your chart and avoids promises and fear. Be careful with anyone who demands money outside the app, sells gemstones on the spot or warns of disaster unless you pay. Kismo checks its astrologers with a qualification review, a panel interview, live audits of sessions and a 30-day probation before they take clients.
Can I see a Kannada astrologer for free the first time?
Yes, your first session can include free time; Kismo gives 5 free minutes on the first session without a card. Use them to ask one clear question, for example whether sadesati is running for your rashi. Keep the birth date, time and place ready. Once the free minutes end, the astrologer's own per-minute rate applies.
I live in Pune. Will a Kannada astrologer still use the Kannada panchanga?
Yes, a Kannada astrologer can follow the Kannada panchanga wherever you live, since the calendar is the same lunar system. For a muhurta, though, the timings are worked out for the city where the event happens, because sunrise changes with place. Tell the astrologer the city and the dates you are considering.
