What this means

At 28 gunas, Dhanishtha and Dhanishtha clear the traditional 18-guna threshold. Both stars share Madhya nadi, which is the most weighted dosha (8 points) and is usually reviewed with cancellation rules before deciding. Many families avoid same-nakshatra marriages; some traditions allow it when the padas differ.

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: Dhanishtha boy & Dhanishtha girl — 28/36.
