Frequently Asked Questions
What is Porutham / Nakshatra matching?
Porutham is the classical Vedic method of checking marriage compatibility by comparing the birth Nakshatra (lunar mansion) and Rasi (Moon sign) of two people across ten traditional factors â from temperament to health to prosperity.
How many Poruthams are checked, and what's a good score?
Ten Poruthams are traditionally checked. A minimum of 6 out of 10 is generally considered acceptable for marriage in Kerala astrology practice, though Nadi Porutham is often weighted as the most important single factor.
Is the matching free?
Yes â viewing your Porutham compatibility score is free once you generate both partners' birth charts on VedicAstroPro.
Does this use real astronomical data?
Yes. Nakshatra and Rasi positions are computed from real sidereal ephemeris data using the Chitra Paksha (true Lahiri) Ayanamsa, not fixed lookup tables.
