Dhanishta & Mrigashira · Thirumana Porutham
4 / 10 Poruthams
Difficult match — several poruthams fail; a detailed astrologer review is strongly advised.
The 10 Poruthams
✗ Dina PoruthamCount from Dhanishta to Mrigashira is 10. This count is considered less favourable for the daily rhythm of the marriage.
✗ Gana PoruthamDhanishta is Rakshasa gana; Mrigashira is Deva gana. Deva-Rakshasa and Manusha-Rakshasa combinations are traditionally considered incompatible.
✗ Yoni PoruthamDhanishta has the Lion yoni; Mrigashira has the Serpent yoni. These yonis are neutral — acceptable compatibility.
✗ Rasi PoruthamDhanishta is in Capricorn; Mrigashira is in Taurus. Count from one rasi to the other is 5. This rasi position is considered less favourable.
✓ Rasiyathipathi PoruthamThe lords of the two rashis are Saturn and Venus, who are friends. Acceptable lord compatibility.
✓ Vasya PoruthamOne rasi has natural control over the other — mutual understanding comes easily.
✗ Rajju PoruthamDhanishta is in the Madhya rajju group; Mrigashira is in the Madhya group. Same group — Rajju dosha is traditionally flagged; many families perform pariharam.
✓ Vedha PoruthamNo Vedha (obstruction) between these nakshatras.
✓ Varna PoruthamDhanishta has the Vaisya varna; Mrigashira has the Vaisya varna. Same varna — traditionally considered good.
✗ Nadi PoruthamDhanishta is Adi nadi; Mrigashira is Adi nadi. Same nadi — Nadi dosha is traditionally flagged (health/offspring concern).
Dhanishta is Rakshasa gana (Lion yoni, Adi nadi); Mrigashira is Deva gana (Serpent yoni, Adi nadi). Their rashis are Makara and Vrishabha, ruled by Saturn and Venus.
