What the Poruthams Indicate:

A cursory look at each of the ten Poruthams will tell us what they indicate.

Dina/ Nakshatra Porutham - this is the first porutham to be checked in Kundali Matching, and it involves matching the prospective couple's birth stars. It indicates longevity, general wellbeing, and prosperity of the couple. It ensures a married life free from poverty and ill-health.

Rasi Porutham - indicates if their Rasi (zodiac signs) are in sync with each other, which means that the union can result in a happy and long-lasting marriage. It checks the level of compatibility between the horoscopes of the prospective couple. This accord indicates good camaraderie and unison that leads to the expansion of the family.
