3. Manglik check on both sides
Both charts are checked for Mangal Dosha, since an imbalance between the two is traditionally considered significant.

Common questions
About Kundali Milan
Is Kundali Milan the same as Kundali Matching?
Yes — Milan and Matching describe the same process. "Milan" is the traditional Hindi/Sanskrit-rooted term; "Matching" is the English equivalent commonly used online. See our full Kundali Matching guide.
Is a low guna score always a dealbreaker?
No. Many astrologers weigh individual kootas — especially Nadi and Bhakoot — more heavily than the raw total, and classical cancellation rules exist for several doshas.
Can Kundali Milan be done without exact birth time?
Rashi and Nakshatra based kootas can be checked with an approximate time, but a fully accurate Milan — including Lagna-based factors — needs an exact birth time from both sides.
