Marriage matching or match making is a solemn decision taken on behalf of the boy and a girl before they tie the knot to hold and to behold each other for the rest of their lives. Poruthams are chalked out after the study of the birth stars of both the boy and the girl who are contemplating marriage.

How is marriage matching done?

Points are allocated by counting from the brides birth star to that of the groom and then dividing this number by 9. The same is then done from the grooms birth star to that of the bride. If the remainders of both calculations are an even number, then the match is auspicious, and 3 points are awarded.
