How Is Jathaka Porutham Different from Nakshatra and Rasi Porutham?
Many people believe that Nakshatra Porutham (star matching) or Rasi Porutham (zodiac sign matching) is enough for marriage compatibility. But in traditional Tamil astrology, these are only components of a broader and more complete system known as Jathaka Porutham.
- Nakshatra Porutham checks compatibility based on birth stars (Nakshatras).
- Rasi Porutham compares the zodiac signs (Rasis) of the bride and groom.
- Jathaka Porutham includes both, but goes further—analyzing planetary alignments, doshams (like Chevvai Dosham), physical and emotional compatibility, longevity, and 10+ Thirumana Poruthams.
