Both tools use the same 36-point Ashtakoota rules. The way each one shows the result is what sets them apart.
Try Naksham Kundali MatchingThe table below lists ten features that shape the match experience. Both tools share the same classical math. The difference shows up in how each one frames and shares the result.
| Feature | ProKerala | Naksham |
|---|---|---|
36-point Ashtakoota The classical 8-Koota Gun Milan score. | Yes | Yes |
8 Kootas with detail Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, Nadi. | Yes | Yes |
Classical citations inline BPHS chapter and verse next to each Koota claim. | No | Yes |
Parihar rules Dosh cancellation logic with classical source per rule. | Partial | Yes |
Pyramid display One verdict first, then strengths, then detail, then data. | No | Yes |
Tone calibration Mixed amber at worst. No rose or red for permanent charts. | Partial | Yes |
5th-grade reading level Simple English, short sentences, Sanskrit terms in brackets. | Partial | Yes |
Shareable URL Short link for the match page, opens on any phone. | Partial | Yes |
Encrypted birth data Birth details stored encrypted. Share page shows only summary. | Partial | Yes |
Free with no upsell Full match result free. No paywall inside the flow. | Partial | Yes |
Partial means the feature exists in a lighter form. No means the public-facing tool does not offer it as of April 2026.
ProKerala has a deep base in South India. Its panchang pages run in Tamil, Malayalam, Kannada, Telugu, and Hindi. Users who read in local script get the full almanac in their own language. This is a real strength.
The matching tool on ProKerala covers both classical systems. You get the 36-point Ashtakoota match from Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra[1]. You also get the 10-Porutham match, which is the Tamil version of Gun Milan. Not many tools show both side by side.
The regional panchang is a daily-use product for many South Indian families. Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, and local Muhurta windows all show up clearly. This makes ProKerala a strong pick for regional work.
The tool has been online for a long time. That track record matters. Users know what to expect. The site loads fast and the interface is simple. These are plain virtues.
For a user who wants a South-Indian panchang in a local script with a trusted match tool, ProKerala is a solid choice. Naksham does not try to match this breadth. We take a different angle.
Every Koota claim on a Naksham match page shows the chapter and verse it comes from. Bhakoot rules cite BPHS Chapter 24. Nadi rules cite Muhurta Chintamani[2]. This is not a footer list. It sits next to the claim itself.
Naksham was designed by Vedic astrologers. We do not hedge with phrases like “some say”. We state the rule and we name the text it comes from. Users can check the source themselves. That is the core of our authority voice.
Each match on Naksham builds a share card. The card has a short URL that opens the same result on any phone. The birth data is encrypted on our server. The shared page shows only the match summary, not raw birth details.
This lets a family group chat a match card around without leaking personal data. It also means users come back to the same URL later. The result is always there.
A Kundali is fixed at birth. The user cannot change the planets. So Naksham never uses a red or rose tone for a Kundali result. The worst we use is mixed amber. We frame challenges as growth areas, not defects.
This matters for match results too. A low Gun Milan score is never shown as a “bad match”. It is shown as a chart with more care points. The classical text Phaladeepika also uses soft language in its marriage chapter. We follow that model.
Every match page starts with one plain-English verdict. “Your match scores 28 out of 36. A warm match with two small care points.” Then strengths. Then growth areas. Then each Koota in detail. Then the raw Ashtakoota table at the very bottom.
This is the Pyramid Principle. The user gets the answer first. The data sits below for those who want to go deep. ProKerala tends to show the score and table early, which is fine for expert users but can feel dense for first-time readers.

Start Naksham Gun MilanMany users end up with both tools in their bookmarks. That is a fair outcome. Use ProKerala for regional panchang and local script. Use Naksham when you want a citation-backed result you can share with family. The tools work well side by side.
The 36-point Ashtakoota system is the base rule for both tools. It comes from Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. The total 36 points split across eight Kootas. Each Koota tests one aspect of the match.
Both ProKerala and Naksham add these up the same way. A score of 18 or more is a pass in most schools. A score of 24 or more is a strong match. A score above 30 is very strong. Both tools agree on these bands.
The 10-Porutham Tamil system runs in parallel in ProKerala. It covers similar ground with a different split. Naksham does not offer the 10-Porutham view as a separate tab. We fold some of those ideas into our Koota detail text, but we do not score it as a second system.
