What is Nadi Dosha and Does It Really Matter?

Nadi is one of the 8 Kootas in Ashtakoot Guna Milan, carrying the highest weightage (8 points out of 36).

**What is Nadi Dosha?** When both partners have the same Nadi (Aadi, Madhya, or Antya), it creates Nadi Dosha. Traditionally considered inauspicious for offspring.

**Does it really matter?** Modern astrologers have nuanced views: - If other compatibility factors are strong, Nadi Dosha can be mitigated - Nadi Dosha cancellation rules exist in Vedic astrology - Many successful marriages have Nadi Dosha

**Practical advice:** Don't reject a match solely based on Nadi Dosha. Consult a qualified astrologer who can check for cancellation rules and overall chart compatibility.
