Key Takeaways:
- Tara Koota carries a maximum of 3 points.
- After counting the nakshatras and dividing by 9, remainders of 3, 5 or 7 indicate unfavourable Taras: Vipat, Pratyak and Naidhana.
- Remainders of 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 or 0 are considered favourable.
Count from the bride's birth nakshatra to the groom's nakshatra, and separately from the groom's nakshatra to the bride's. Divide each count by 9. A remainder of 3, 5 or 7 indicates an unfavourable Tara. Any other remainder—1, 2, 4, 6, 8 or 0—is regarded as favourable.
