Compatible Factors in Match Making

In Vedic astrology, the concept of Match Making or Horoscope Matching is very eminent. Marriage is the sacred bond between two separate entities, bringing them together for a long and healthy marital life. Marriage match making requires a total of 10 compatibility factors. The factors which are considered at the time of marriage are:-

• Dhina Porutham:

  For each and every day to be a very special day for the couples they must have their match of Dhina porutham. Only this match will eliminate the difference of opinion and misunderstanding between the couples.

• Ganam Porutham:

  This match is viewed especially to arrive at the tolerance level between the couples. If the couples have this match in their horoscope then they will tolerate each other and avoid misunderstandings.

• Mahendra Porutham:

  Mahendra porutham is matched for Puthira Bakkiyam(blessed with a child). This match will hint the flow of the generations of that particular family.

• Stree Deergha Porutham:

  Stree deergha porutham ensures the female counterpart's well-being, longevity and prosperity. If the boys star counted from girl star exceeds 13, there is Stree Deergha Porutham.

• Yoni Porutham:

  As per this match each and every star is identified as an animal. This match is not fulfilled if there is an enmity between the Yoni (animals). And for fulfillment of this match there should not be enmity between the yoni matched.

• Raasi Porutham:

  Rasi porutham is one of the many matches looked for Vamsa Viruthi and as per few sasthras this match will give all the happiness and the blessings to have a male child for the couples getting married.

• Rasiyathipathy Porutham:

  It refers to the birth stars of both the girl and the boy with their lords who should be in friendship with each other for a compatible marriage. If the lords of the birth stars of the boy are not in friendship with the lords of the birth stars of the girl the marriage will not last long but if they are in friendship then the marriage will be a happy and a long lasting one.

• Vasya Porutham:

  Vasya porutham denotes compatibility between the zodiac signs of the couple that is to get married. Therefore, if there is agreement between their poruthams, this enables mutual love and affection to be enhanced and to continue between the man and the wife.

• Rajju Porutham:

  Rajju Porutham matching indicates the strength of girl’s mangalyam. If all poruthams are okay and Rajju porutham is not matching, then the porutham is considered to be not okay. Because the longevity and the success of the marriage is based on this porutham.

• Vedha Porutham:

  The word 'vedha' means affliction which comes if the birth stars of the girl and the boy are not in a match with each other. Therefore, there should be porutham between the stars of the girl and the boy which can help keep off pitfalls, shortcomings or evils in the marriage thus resulting in a happy and a prosperous married life ever after.

Of these above mentioned compatible factors, the most important 5 matches to be considered are Dhina Porutham, Ganam Porutham, Yoni Porutham, Raasi Porutham and Rajju Porutham.

If the two horoscopes have compatibility of more than 5 factors then it is considered as a proper match and the couple can proceed for the marriage, but if the compatibility factor is below 5 then the horoscopes is regarded as not a match and shouldn’t proceed for marriage.

After taking the compatible factors into consideration, the job doesn’t ends here. We have to look for the intensity of faults or known as ‘Dosham’ in the horoscope. The known doshams are Chevvai Dosham, Kalasarpa Dosham, Mangalya Dosham, Dasa Bhukti Sandhi and a few more.
