The family report is the printable page you take to your pandit. It looks dense the first time, but it has a fixed order and each part answers one question. This guide goes through the sections from top to bottom. You can print the report from any result using the family report button.
1. Names and birth details
The top of the report lists both people with date, time and place of birth, plus the nakshatra, charan (pada) and rashi (Moon sign) worked out from them. Check these first. If a date, time or place is wrong, everything below it is wrong too. If the birth time was unknown, the report says so and marks which results could change.
Quick vocabulary:
- Rashi is the Moon sign, one of twelve.
- Nakshatra is the lunar star, one of 27.
- Charan or pada is a quarter of a nakshatra, one of four.
2. The total out of 36
The big number is the guna total. The usual reading is 18 as the minimum and 24 or more as good. Treat it as the headline, not the verdict. Kitne gun milne chahiye explains why.
3. The eight kootas
This table lists each koota with its Hindi name and points. Read the "got" column against the "out of" column:
| Koota | Out of | What it looks at | |---|---|---| | Varna | 1 | Spiritual temperament class | | Vashya | 2 | Mutual influence and attraction | | Tara | 3 | Birth star compatibility | | Yoni | 4 | Physical and instinctive nature | | Graha Maitri | 5 | Friendship of Moon-sign lords | | Gana | 6 | Temperament: Deva, Manushya, Rakshasa | | Bhakoot | 7 | Relation between the two Moon signs | | Nadi | 8 | Nadi type, linked to health and progeny |
Look for zeros. A zero on Nadi, Bhakoot or Gana is where a dosha may appear. Several kootas give different points when the boy and girl are swapped, so the report always keeps the Var and Kanya order.
4. Dosha lines
This is the most important section for most families. Each dosha gets one line:
- Not present. Nothing to do.
- Present and cancelled. The line names the rule that applied and the fact behind it, for example "Moon-sign lords are friends".
- Present and not cancelled. No rule applied. This is where to ask the pandit questions.
Points are not changed by a cancellation, so the total stays honest while the dosha line carries the traditional reading. For each dosha, read the matching pages: Nadi, Bhakoot, Gana, and their cancellation pages, for example Nadi dosha cancellation. The overview is in dosha parihar kya hota hai.
5. Manglik for each person
The report states, for the boy and the girl separately, whether Mars falls in house 1, 4, 7, 8 or 12 of their chart, and whether a cancellation rule applies. It then gives the combined reading: neither Manglik, one Manglik, or both. When both are Manglik, the tradition treats the doshas as balancing each other. If the birth time is unknown, this line shows "needs birth time" and no guess is made. See Manglik dosha and Manglik cancellation rules.
6. The two birth charts
You will see two North Indian diamond charts, one for each person. The diamond is divided into twelve houses, the top middle house is the first (the ascendant), and houses run anticlockwise. Each planet is placed in the house it occupies. You do not need to analyse these yourself. They are there so your pandit can check the work against their own chart and see the Mars and Moon positions the report used.
7. Questions for your pandit
The report generates a short list of questions from the result, such as which dosha is present, which rule cancelled it, and whether the pandit agrees with the birth time. Take the printout and go through these one by one. Concrete questions get concrete answers, and they keep the meeting from becoming a general "is it good or bad?" conversation.
8. QR code and date
The QR code links back to the live result so anyone in the family can open it on a phone. The date shows when the report was generated, which is useful if you re-run the match with corrected details and need to tell the two printouts apart.
A simple reading order
- Verify the birth details.
- Read the dosha lines.
- Check Manglik for both.
- Look at the total and the zero kootas.
- Go through the pandit questions.
What to do after reading
Keep the printout with your notes from the checklist before fixing a rishta. If you need to re-run with a corrected time, use kundli milan by date of birth, and the full process is in kundli milan kaise kare. Birth details are never kept on our servers, and the tool is free, online, with no sign-up and no ads.
