What this means

At 21 gunas, Dhanishtha and Ashwini clear the traditional 18-guna threshold. 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: Ashwini boy & Dhanishtha girl — 22/36.
