Mrigashira and Punarvasu Marriage Compatibility
Ashtakoota guna milan for Mrigashira and Punarvasu, computed from the classical tables: 19.5–32.5 of 36 with Mrigashira as the groom's nakshatra, 20.5–32.5 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. (Tradition frames the two directions as groom and bride — modern couples read them as either partner.)

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 Mrigashira and Punarvasu compatible for marriage?
By ashtakoota guna milan they score 19.5–32.5 of 36 with Mrigashira as the groom's nakshatra and 20.5–32.5 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 Mrigashira and Punarvasu?
19.5–32.5 of 36 gunas one way and 20.5–32.5 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.
Do Mrigashira and Punarvasu have Nadi or Bhakoot dosha?
No Nadi dosha — the two nadis differ. Bhakoot dosha applies in some pada combinations — see the by-sign table.
