What this means

At 16.5 gunas, Punarvasu and Ashlesha fall below the traditional 18-guna threshold, so most families would look closely at the full charts. They are in different nadis, so the most important koota scores its full 8 points.

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: Ashlesha boy & Punarvasu girl — 17.5/36.
