What this means

At 13 gunas, Dhanishtha and Mrigashira fall below the traditional 18-guna threshold, so most families would look closely at the full charts. Both stars share Madhya nadi, which is the most weighted dosha (8 points) and is usually reviewed with cancellation rules before deciding.

Nakshatra matching is a first filter. A complete kundli match uses exact birth time to fix the pada and rashi, and adds Mangal dosha and dasha checks. Dosha cancellation rules are not applied here, so confirm with a qualified astrologer.

Reverse pair: Mrigashira boy & Dhanishtha girl — 13/36.
