Formula & methodology

Formula: Nadi dosha = both janma nakshatras belong to the same nadi (Adi/Madhya/Antya); different nadi scores 8 points

  1. Enter both partners’ birth dates and times.
  2. The calculator finds each Moon’s nakshatra (sidereal, Lahiri).
  3. Each of the 27 stars maps to Adi, Madhya or Antya nadi — the two are compared.
  4. Different nadis score the full 8 points; identical nadis raise the dosha, with the standard exemptions noted.

Worked example — partners born 15 May 1995 (Anuradha → Madhya) and 3 Nov 1996 (Ashlesha → Antya): nadis differ, so no Nadi dosha — 8/8 points, consistent with the pair’s strong 31/36 Guna Milan elsewhere on this site.

Frequently asked questions

What is Nadi dosha?
The zero-score case of the heaviest Ashtakoota factor: when both partners’ birth stars share the same nadi (Adi, Madhya or Antya), tradition flags risks to health, temperament compatibility and progeny — and the match loses all 8 Nadi points.
Why does Nadi carry the most points?
The nadis map to the three Ayurvedic constitutions (Vata, Pitta, Kapha). The traditional logic is physiological: same-nadi couples were believed to concentrate one constitution in offspring. Whatever one makes of that premise, the scoring convention stands at 8 of 36.
Are there genuine cancellations of Nadi dosha?
Yes, classical and widely applied: same nadi but different Moon signs; same nakshatra but different padas; same Moon sign but different nakshatras; and certain lord-friendship combinations. A large share of flagged matches clear after these checks — ask a practitioner to apply them formally.
Our calculator shows Nadi dosha — should we stop?
Not on this single factor. Check the cancellation list, the full 36-point score, both charts’ 7th houses and dashas. Tradition itself treats unexcused Nadi dosha seriously, but the excusal rules exist precisely because the raw flag over-triggers.
Can remedies address Nadi dosha?
Customary remedies include Maha Mrityunjaya japa, Nadi-dosha nivarana puja and gau-daan style charity before marriage. Regional practice varies; families typically combine a formal cancellation check with the rite so both the textual and the customary bases are covered.
