especially in marriages.

Still in this modern era, the astrology holds an important place in the minds of people and have faith
and believe in this ancient system. They have very much believes that astrology can be used in every
aspect of life whether it is present, past or future. The people of every region in India use astrology
to predict the future and taking precautions for bad things which may happen it the future. In Hindu
Culture especially in the state of Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar, astrologers are
consulted for making important decisions of career, finance and more importantly marriages. Each
pre ritual and post rituals of marriages are fixed on dates after consulting the astrologers and
astrologers see the planetary positions to finalize the dates for roka, engagement and marriage in all
these states.

Weddings are beautiful celebrations which are planned as per the traditions and customs in the
state of Bihar, UP and MP. But the marriages are finalized only after astrologers says that kundali of
boy and girl matches and there is dosh of guanas in it, only then the marriage of boy and girl is
considered. The gunas which are considered during the marriages are Yoni, Vashya, Varna,
GrahaMaitri, Gan, Bhakoot Tara, and Nadi. For example if Nadi Dosh is found then it is said that they
will have problems in marriage and having child, so the marriage will never get finalized. VasyaKoot
is used in determining the compatibility in between the girl and boy after marriage and how
dedicated relationship is present in between couples. All the planetary positions are taken in to
account for compatibility of two people in marriage and if the score is only 2 then the couple is
compatible and couple is not found to be compatible with score of 1.

If there is harmony in between the planets of bride and groom, then they will have blissful marriage
otherwise they will have strong differences in their marriage life filled with clashes, ego and
arguments. Therefore, it is very important that GrahMaitri should be considered, the marriage is
finalized only if it scores 5 otherwise astrologers does not prefer the marriage with less than 5. Apart
from these, it is also very significant step by astrologers to take BhakootGuna during match making.
It is taken to see the prosperity of loving happy marriage life, mutual understanding, good health,
happiness and longevity. The planetary positions and rashis are under the control of Chandra and it
has lot of effect on love aspects of marriage. It is never ignored by the astrologers as it is responsible
for the chances of pregnancy and having a baby. The Yoni aspect of match making hold the score of
4 which means of kudalis of boy and girl are scoring 4 in this, then one can consider the marriage but
if not then astrologers say no to marriages.

Thus, we have seen that astrology hold a very important place especially during the marriages and
no one carry the Hindu customs in marriages without astrology.
