Kundali matching, also known as Guna Milan, has been an integral part of the Hindu marriage system for centuries. Far from being a superstitious practice, it's a sophisticated astrological technique that analyzes compatibility between two individuals on multiple levels.

1. Tara (Destiny & Prosperity) - Looks at the birth stars and their impact on mutual fortune

1. Yoni (Sexual Compatibility) - Focuses on physical and intimate compatibility

1. Graha Maitri (Mental Harmony) - Examines intellectual and emotional synchronicity
