Dhanishta and Purva Bhadrapada Marriage Compatibility
Ashtakoota guna milan for Dhanishta and Purva Bhadrapada, computed from the classical tables: 18.5–29.5 of 36 with Dhanishta as the groom's nakshatra, 18.5–28.5 of 36 the other way. Eighteen is the classical minimum for a workable match; the koota-by-koota breakdown below shows where the points come from.

These scores compare the two Moons — the classical first pass. A real match also needs Mangal dosha (Mars's house from each Lagna and Moon), the exact padas, the seventh houses, and the dasha timing — all of which need full birth details. The app computes the complete picture, free.

Common questions
Are Dhanishta and Purva Bhadrapada compatible for marriage?
By ashtakoota guna milan they score 18.5–29.5 of 36 with Dhanishta as the groom's nakshatra and 18.5–28.5 the other way (18 is the classical minimum, 24+ strong). The final word belongs to the full charts — including Mangal dosha, which nakshatra tables cannot see.
How many gunas match between Dhanishta and Purva Bhadrapada?
18.5–29.5 of 36 gunas one way and 18.5–28.5 the other. Where a range appears, the exact score depends on each Moon's pada, because four of the eight kootas follow the rashi rather than the nakshatra.

No Nadi dosha — the two nadis differ. Bhakoot dosha applies in some pada combinations — see the by-sign table.
