Varna Koota: 1 of the 36 Guna
Varna is worth 1 of the 36 guna. It compares the varna of each Moon sign, scored when the groom's is equal to or above the bride's. Measured over every one of the 11,664 bride-and-groom pairings of Moon positions, Varna scores nothing in 4,374 (37.5%) and its full 1 in 7,290 (62.5%). Every lineage scores Varna the same way, so each pairing has one Varna figure.
| Varna score | Pairings | Share |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 4,374 | 37.5% |
| 1 | 7,290 | 62.5% |
How much Varna moves the total: pairings that score nothing on Varna average 18.34 guna in all, and pairings that score its full 1 average 20.49, a gap of 2.16. That is more than Varna’s own 1, so pairings that fail Varna also score lower, on average, on the other kootas.
Varna, Value by Value
Each page below takes one varna and scores it against every other, in both directions.
Your own Varna score depends on both Moon positions; the reasoning behind it is what the report prints koota by koota. The Free Kundli Matching tool gives the eight koota scores and the total, which is the headline answer; the Kundali Milan detailed report works the same arithmetic further from your own birth details, and its page lists what it contains.
The other kootas: Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi. Totals score by score are on the guna milan page; the method in the 36 gunas explained. In Hindi: वर्ण कूट.
