Important Tips for Marriage Matching
While a high total score is desirable, certain poruthams are considered mandatory. Specifically, Rajju and Nadi are often viewed as essential; failure in these areas is generally considered a significant concern by many astrologers, regardless of the overall score.
Thirumana Porutham is one vital input for a marriage decision. Traditional guidance suggests considering other practical factors such as character, education, and family background.
* For a comprehensive decision, it is highly recommended to consult a qualified astrologer who can interpret the full birth chart, account for planetary positions, and suggest remedies if necessary.
