Methodology and astrological context for Match Ashtakoot Points.
The Match Ashtakoot Points API computes the Ashtakoot Guna Milan score — the most widely used and authoritative Vedic astrology system for assessing marriage compatibility between two individuals. Ashtakoot (literally "eight categories") evaluates the compatibility of a couple across eight distinct Kootas (compatibility dimensions), each derived from the Janma Nakshatra (birth lunar mansion) of both individuals. Each Koota carries a specific maximum point value, and the scores are summed to produce a total out of 36 — the definitive compatibility score in traditional Vedic matchmaking.
The API accepts complete birth date, time, and geographic coordinates for both the male and female, calculates their respective Janma Nakshatras using the specified Ayanamsha, and returns the individual score for each of the eight Kootas along with the aggregate compatibility score and its interpretive assessment.
