Kundli matching and Manglik, simply explained

What kundli matching (guna milan) and Manglik mean, how families use them, and how to talk about them with a match.

What is kundli matching?

Kundli (birth chart) matching, or guna milan, compares two birth charts on 8 aspects worth 36 points in total. Many families see a higher score as a good sign; how much weight to give it is a personal choice.

What does Manglik mean?

In Vedic astrology a person is called Manglik when Mars sits in certain houses of their birth chart. Some families prefer Manglik matches for Manglik people; others do not consider it.

How HimJodi handles it

You can mark Manglik status as No, Yes, Anshik (partial) or Don’t know in your profile, so families who care about it can see it early.

Talk about it openly

If kundli matters to your family, say so early and politely. If it doesn’t, say that too – it saves time on both sides.
