Ashtakoot Gun Milan is the 36-point Vedic compatibility score that anchors a Hindu matrimonial decision in Nepal and across South Asia. Lami's in-app Kundli engine calculates the full score — and the eight-koot breakdown the score is built from — for any pair of Lami users you match with. No paid astrologer needed for the first pass.
What Gun Milan tells you
Gun Milan is a structured Vedic compatibility check based on two partners' Janma Kundalis. Each of the eight koots scores a different dimension of compatibility — physical, mental, emotional, hereditary, material, spiritual — and the eight scores sum to a maximum of 36 gunas. A total of 18 or higher is conventionally treated as a workable match; many families weight specific koots (especially Bhakoot and Nadi) more heavily than the total.
The 36 gunas — full breakdown
Each koot has a different point ceiling, and the higher- weighted koots speak to deeper compatibility:
- Varna — 1 point — spiritual compatibility
- Vashya — 2 points — mutual influence
- Tara — 3 points — health and well-being
- Yoni — 4 points — physical and sexual fit
- Graha Maitri — 5 points — mental and temperamental fit
- Gana — 6 points — character compatibility
- Bhakoot — 7 points — material harmony and family life
- Nadi — 8 points — heredity and progeny
Total: 36 points. Conventional benchmarks: 18+ is a workable match; 24+ is good; 28+ is excellent. A score below 18 is conventionally treated as a difficult match, though individual families weight koots differently and consult their own pundit.

Why families use Lami for Gun Milan
Most online Gun Milan calculators either return a generic teaser score or sit behind a paid wall. Lami's calculator is built into the matrimonial workflow itself, so the same compatibility check that informs a family's decision about a match runs against actual verified profiles rather than hypothetical inputs. The Kundali tab also includes a Nepali (BS) ↔ English (AD) date converter for families whose birth records use different calendars.
