In marriages, having children is the most beautiful phase. It brings a different level of joy to the family. But when matching kundali for marriage, the most concerning outcome is Nadi dosha. It can be considered the biggest obstacle in life. Let’s see what it is, why it is so concerning, and how to deal with this.
Nadi Guna and Dosha
Before we discuss nadi dosh meaning, first, we see what nadi guna is. While matching kundali, in 36 gunas, 8 guna (points) are of Nadi koota. It carries the highest weightage in kundali matching. That is why it is considered the most important factor to compare. There are 3 types of nadi:
- Adi Nadi (vata) represents the air element.
- Madhya Nadi (pitta) represents the fire element, and
- Antya Nadi (kapha), which represents the water element
Nadi Nakshatra
According to Vedic astrology, there are three types of Nadis (channels) in the human body that represent three different elements. The three elements are Air, Fire, and Water. Air represents energy flow from bottom to top, meaning from foot to head. Fire represents the flow of energy to both sides, bottom to top and top to bottom. And water represents the flow of energy from top to bottom. In Nadi nakshatra, the 27 nakshatras are categorized into air, fire, and water elements. Those are mentioned below:
- Air—Ashwini, Ardra, Hasta, Jyestha, Mool, Shatabhisha, Punarvasu, Uttaraphalguni, and Purva Bhadrapada
- Fire—Bharani, Mrigashira, Anuradha, Poorvashadha, Dhanishta Pushya, Poorvaphalguni, Chitra, and Uttara Bhadrapada
- Water—Krittika, Rohini, Vishakha, Uttarashada, Ashlesha, Magha, Swati, Shravan, and Revati.
If both the bride and groom belong to the same nadi, it leads to nadi dosha. Now, how does someone know if they have nadi dosha in their kundali or not? Have a look at this too.
Nadi Dosha in Kundali
Here’s how you can know if you have Nadi dosha in your kundali or not. For that, you need to know the nakshatra and rashi of your partner.
- Adi – Adi = 0 points
- Madhya – Madhya = 0 points
- Antya – Antya = 0 points
- Adi – Madhya = 8 points
- Madhya – Antya = 8 points
- Antya – Adi = 8 points
If a girl and a boy have the same Nadi, the score is 0, which means there is Nadi Dosha, and they might suffer in married life. If they are from different Nadis, the score is 8, and there is no Nadi Dosha.

Effects of Nadi dosha
Mutual understanding and compatibility are most important to be happy in a relationship or in married life. If there’s no compatibility or adjustments between two, this leads to miscommunication and disagreements. Nadi Dosha leads to all these possibilities, which affect a relationship. There are more effects of Nadi Dosha; we will have a look at them:
- Couples may face incompatibility between them. Continuous arguments every time on every topic and not having peace together.
- Absence of love and affection. Not giving time to each other.
- Nadi dosha makes it difficult for couples to achieve a successful life.
- Not having faith in your partner can lead to divorce.
- In the worst-case scenario, a couple can face the severe and unexpected death of one partner.
- There’s always a chance that partners, one or both, will experience accidents more often.
- Moreover, couples possess conceiving issues. They became parents after many years of marriage, and if not this, then a partner may become infertile.
- Children can suffer from a tense and unhealthy environment in the house, which disturbs their mental health.
- Also, children may face some health issues at birth or after birth due to Nadi Dosh in the Kundali of their parents.
- Children can experience genetic complications.
- The couple also witnesses things quickly moving from bad to worse during any conversation.
Cancellation of Nadi Dosha
Nadi dosha, astrologically, can be cancelled. Here are some rules/conditions to cancel Nadi Dosha:
- If a girl and a boy have the same nakshatra, make sure they have different rashis. This will cancel out the Nadi Dosha while matching Kundali.
- And if they have the same Rashi, it is important to have different nakshatras.
- And if these two options are not there and the nakshatra is the same for both partners, then the constellation phases must be different.
These three conditions nullify the Nadi Dosha. While matching kundali, keep these things in mind. And now we will discuss some remedies for Nadi Dosha.
Remedies for Nadi Dosha
It’s a big challenge if you have Nadi dosha in your kundali. Here are some remedies for it:
- Nadi Dosha nivaran pooja—It is performed by highly experienced priests. This pooja reduces the negative effect of Nadi Dosha to some extent.
- Mahamrityunjaya Mantra—As the name suggests, the Great Death-Defeating Mantra—acts as a shield to protect you from unexpected and sudden death or accidents. Chant this mantra daily.
- Symbolic marriage (kumbh vivah)—In severe cases, it is advised to do a symbolic marriage. In this, the bride or groom has to marry Lord Vishnu or a Peepal tree. This helps to absorb the dasha and allows the actual marriage to go smoothly.
- Fasting—Keep a fast on Ekadashi; that helps to maintain positivity around you and for your partner.
