What is Kundli matching?
The marriage compatibility analysis when done with the assistance of Vedic astrology is called Kundli matching.
The Kundli matching at its essence is not matching of kundlis or birth charts. We all are born different, but some people will go well together. And some people will cause a disaster when are made to live together. So the basic idea of compatibility analysis and Kundli matching is to identify who will go well together and lead a happy married life. While which two kinds of people when brought together will face a lot of trouble in leading a good relationship.
Understanding a person takes time and identifying whether you are happy with that person can take even more time. But with the aid of Kundli matching, we can get those signals before committing to a relationship.
Kundli matching and Kundali matching are synonyms. Kundali matching is just another way of saying the same things. Kundali matching has its root in the South Indian way of speaking Kundli. While Kundli matching is more of a North Indian way of speaking the same root words.

Understanding compatibility with Ashtakoot Gun Milan
The 36 points based matchmaking is called Guna Milan or Gun Milan. The Koots are the factors based on which compatibility points out of a total of 36 points are given to a couple. The general idea is greater the number of points scored by a couple, the better it is for a successful marital life.

And the ten factor-based method of Kundali matching is known as Dashakoot Gun Milan. And this both Gun Milans are also known as Melpak. Melpak is the ratio of kundali matching's obtained points. For example, if 12 points out of 36 points are obtained. Melpak is 12/36.

Out of 36 total points in match making, 7 points are allotted to Bhakoot matching and 8 points are allotted to Nadi matching. Therefore, whenever a couple scores 0 point in Bhakoot matching it is known as Bhakoot dosha. And if a couple score is 0 in Nadi matching then it is known as Nadi dosha. The Nadi matching is given the highest number of points as compared to the other compatibility parameters. So whenever a Nadi dosha occurs it is also widely known as Nadi Mahadosha.

What is Mangal Dosha?
Mangal Dosh or Manglik Dosha is an additional check for the shared dominance among life partners.
Mangal Dosha occurs when planet Mars is sitting in 1st house, 2nd house, 4th house, 7th house, 8th house or 12th house from Janma Kundli, the birth chart. These same positions of Mars are also checked from Chandra Kundli, which is the Moon chart. An astrologer checks the degree of Mangal dosh in the Kundli of boy and girl. The idea is to achieve the same level of Mangal dosha in the birth charts of Bride and Groom. The same level of Mangal dosha in Bride and Groom denotes an equal level of dominance between both of them. Hence, it is said to give a happy married life.
