Nakshatra matching points chart (bride × groom)

This is the marriage matching table that almanacs print: rows are the bride's birth nakshatra, columns the groom's, and each cell is the ashtakoota total out of 36. The nine nakshatras that span two rasis are split by pada (for example Krittika 1 in Mesha and Krittika 2–4 in Vrishabha), which gives 36 rows. Totals below 18 are in red, 28 and above in green. The cells show points only; for the nadi and bhakoot dosha and their exceptions, choose the two stars in the matching tool. The tables and sources are on the method page.

How to read it: find the bride's star in the rows and go across to the column numbered for the groom's star. The numbers are listed below.
