Question 1

Is My Rishtas free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — completely. You can save up to 25 rishtas per family profile and up to 3 profiles per account, with the full Guna Milan computed on every one. There is no paid tier, no trial, and no card required.

Question 2

How many gunas are needed for marriage?

Accepted Answer

Traditionally 18 out of 36 is treated as the minimum for a workable match, 24 and above as good, and above 30 as excellent. Below 18 is usually read as needing careful thought rather than as an automatic no — and many long marriages sit below it. The number is a starting point for discussion, not a pass mark.

Question 3

What if I don’t know the exact birth time?

Accepted Answer

You can still run the match. Guna Milan is computed from the Moon’s nakshatra, and the Moon moves through roughly one nakshatra a day, so an approximate time usually gives a reliable score. Manglik status depends on the ascendant, which does shift every couple of hours, so treat that part as indicative when the time is uncertain.

Question 4

Can I share a rishta’s match with family?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Each rishta has a WhatsApp share that sends a link to the full koota breakdown, and you can share the whole ranked list as a summary. Both carry names, scores and stages only — birth details are never included in a share.

Question 5

Who can see my list?

Accepted Answer

Only you. Your profiles, rishtas, notes and stages are tied to your account, are never indexed by search engines, and are not shared with anyone. Deleting a rishta or a profile removes its stored birth details.

Question 6

Does this replace an astrologer?

Accepted Answer

No. The scores here are computed deterministically from both charts and are the same numbers any astrologer would arrive at, but a family astrologer reads far more than the koota total — dasha periods, house placements, and the specific circumstances of both families. This tool is for organising and comparing a long search; a consultation is for judgment on a shortlist.
