Ardra & Ashlesha · Thirumana Porutham
4 / 10 Poruthams
Difficult match — several poruthams fail; a detailed astrologer review is strongly advised.
The 10 Poruthams
✓ Dina PoruthamCount from Ardra to Ashlesha is 4. This count is considered favourable for longevity and daily harmony.
✗ Gana PoruthamArdra is Manusha gana; Ashlesha is Rakshasa gana. Deva-Rakshasa and Manusha-Rakshasa combinations are traditionally considered incompatible.
✗ Yoni PoruthamArdra has the Dog yoni; Ashlesha has the Cat yoni. These yonis are neutral — acceptable compatibility.
✓ Rasi PoruthamArdra is in Gemini; Ashlesha is in Cancer. Count from one rasi to the other is 2. This rasi position is considered favourable.
✗ Rasiyathipathi PoruthamThe lords of the two rashis are Mercury and Moon, who are enemies. Enemy lords are traditionally considered unfavourable.
✗ Vasya PoruthamThe rashis do not have mutual control — the couple may need to work on influence and persuasion.
✗ Rajju PoruthamArdra is in the Antya rajju group; Ashlesha is in the Antya group. Same group — Rajju dosha is traditionally flagged; many families perform pariharam.
✓ Vedha PoruthamNo Vedha (obstruction) between these nakshatras.
✗ Varna PoruthamArdra has the Sudra varna; Ashlesha has the Brahmin varna. Different varnas — traditionally considered less favourable.
