What matching reads from Chitra
Each field below comes from the same source table used by the calculators.
Scroll sideways →
| Attribute | Chitra | What it decides |
|---|---|---|
| Nadi | Madhya | Worth 8 points, the largest single koota. Two people sharing a nadi score zero on it — which happens to 33.3% of all 11,664 pairings. 9 of the 27 stars share Madhya. |
| Gana | Rakshasa | Worth 6. A classification of the star, not of a person. 9 of the 27 stars are Rakshasa. |
| Yoni | Tiger (female) | Worth 4. Only 7.3% of pairings score full marks here — it is the hardest koota in the set. |
| Rajju | Shiro | Not counted in the northern eight at all. In Tamil and Kerala practice it can refuse a match on its own. 3 of the 27 share it. |
| Vimshottari lord | Mars | Sets which planetary period a person is born into, and the balance remaining at birth. |
What this page does not say. Nothing here describes a personality, predicts an outcome, or grades Chitra as a good or bad star to be born under. These are the five fields a matching calculation reads, and their measured frequencies. What a tradition concludes from them is the calculation’s job, and the traditions do not agree.
