The 10 Poruthams
✗ Dina PoruthamCount from Ardra to Krittika is 25. This count is considered less favourable for the daily rhythm of the marriage.

✓ Rasiyathipathi PoruthamThe lords of the two rashis are Mercury and Mars, who are neutral. Acceptable lord compatibility.
✗ Vasya PoruthamThe rashis do not have mutual control — the couple may need to work on influence and persuasion.
