Accurate Nakshatra & Rasi Marriage Compatibility (Tamil Jathaka Porutham)
What is 10 Porutham? Complete Guide
In Tamil Nadu and among Tamil communities worldwide, marriage is not just a union of two people — it is considered a sacred bond between two families and two souls. To ensure harmony, happiness, health, wealth, progeny, and longevity, traditional astrologers use the 10 Porutham system (also called Jathaka porutham or Nakshatra porutham).
This ancient method compares the birth nakshatra (lunar star) and rasi (moon sign) of the boy and girl to evaluate compatibility across 10 major factors. Each porutham carries different weight — especially Rajju, which is considered the most critical.
Why is Porutham Matching Important?
Nakshatra Rasi Porutham is a time-tested system rooted in ancient Vedic wisdom. It helps families ensure compatibility, harmony, and long-term success in marriage.However, it should be combined with deeper horoscope analysis for accurate predictions.
- Reduces risk of health problems, frequent quarrels, or separation
- Ensures physical, emotional, and sexual compatibility
- Promotes financial stability and family prosperity
- Supports healthy children and long married life
- Protects against doshas like Rajju dosha, which can be very serious
What is a Good Porutham Score?
Nakshatra Rasi Porutham is a traditional Vedic astrology method used mainly in South Indian horoscope matching.It evaluates compatibility between a bride and groom based on their birth star (Nakshatra) and Moon sign (Rasi).
Traditional guidelines suggest:
- 7.5 to 10 points → Excellent match – highly recommended
- 5.5 to 7 points → Good/acceptable match – can proceed with remedies if needed
- Below 5.5 points → Not advisable – high risk of problems
Important: Even if the total score is high, a bad Rajju porutham is usually a deal-breaker for most astrologers.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Which porutham is most important in marriage matching?
Rajju porutham is widely regarded as the most critical. Mismatch in Rajju can lead to severe consequences including danger to life, chronic illness, or major tragedies. Many astrologers reject a match if Rajju is bad — even if all other poruthams are perfect.
Can we marry if one or two poruthams are bad?
Yes — if the total score is above 6 and Rajju is good, minor mismatches can be corrected with parihara (remedies) like pooja, homam, or gemstones. But if Rajju is bad, most traditional astrologers advise against the alliance.
Is 10 porutham matching compulsory in Tamil culture?
While not legally compulsory, 10 porutham is deeply rooted in Tamil tradition. Most families (especially in arranged marriages) insist on good porutham matching to ensure a happy and long-lasting married life.
What if nakshatra is the same for both?
Same nakshatra is generally considered inauspicious unless other factors (like gana, yoni, rajju) are exceptionally good. Many astrologers avoid same-nakshatra matches.
