Nadi is the pulse type in a nakshatra: Adi, Madhya or Antya. When boy and girl share one Nadi the koota scores 0 of 8. Classical texts link it to health and children, so families ask about it first.

When is Nadi dosha not a problem?

If the Nadi differs there is no dosha at all. If it is the same, the three rules on the cancellation page can still set it aside, so a Nadi match is not final.

Does a cancelled Nadi dosha still lose points?

Yes. Cancellation does not add the 8 points back to the total. Your result shows the score as it is and the dosha line says which named rule applies.

Should we decide a marriage on Nadi dosha alone?

No. It is one factor next to the 36-point total, the other doshas and both charts. Check your pair on our free tool and take the printed result to a pandit you trust.
