Dashakoota (10-Fold Matching)
The traditional Telugu 10-fold marriage compatibility system — the standard for South Indian families.
Dashakoota (దశకూట) is the 10-fold marriage compatibility system traditional to Telugu and South Indian astrology. Unlike the Ashtakoota system which scores points out of 36, Dashakoota evaluates each koota as pass or fail.
The 10 kootas are: 1. Dina (దిన) — daily harmony 2. Gana (గణ) — temperament match 3. Yoni (యోని) — physical compatibility 4. Rashi (రాశి) — moon sign harmony 5. Rasyadhipati (రాశ్యాధిపతి) — lord friendship 6. Rajju (రజ్జు) — marital longevity (MOST CRITICAL) 7. Vedha (వేధ) — affliction check 8. Vasya (వశ్య) — mutual attraction 9. Mahendra (మహేంద్ర) — progeny & prosperity 10. Stree Deergha (స్త్రీ దీర్ఘ) — bride's welfare
Rajju is considered the single most important koota in Telugu tradition — same Rajju group is a serious dosha. A match with 7 or more kootas passing is considered good.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rajju Dosha?
Rajju dosha occurs when both partners have nakshatras in the same Rajju body-part group (Siro, Kantha, Udara, Ooru, or Paada). Same Rajju is believed to threaten marital longevity and is considered the most serious incompatibility in Telugu tradition.
