The ones families ask on the phone, answered the way we would answer them.
What is manglik dosha, and does it stop a marriage?
Manglik, also called mangal dosha or kuja dosha, is read when Mars sits in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from the lagna, Moon or Venus. It is common, and it cancels under several well-established conditions — most simply when both charts carry it, and also when Mars is in its own or an exalted sign, among others. We read it from the birth chart rather than from what somebody has been told, and we say plainly when it does not apply.
Our guna milan came to less than 18. Is the marriage impossible?
No. Eighteen out of 36 is a convention, not a rule. Which koots the points came from matters more than the total: a pair at 16 with a clean nadi and friendly rashi lords can be a far better prospect than a pair at 22 carrying nadi dosha. We show the full eight-koot breakdown and tell you what we make of it, rather than handing you a number to accept or refuse.
What is nadi dosha, and how serious is it?
Nadi dosha is when both charts fall in the same nadi, read from the nakshatra. It carries 8 of the 36 Ashtakoot points, more than any other koot, so a pair with it seldom reaches 18 on the total alone. It is the one worth taking most seriously — and it also has recognised exceptions, including the same nakshatra with different padas and certain rashi combinations, which is why it should be read properly rather than assumed from a chart app.
Why is our daughter’s or son’s marriage getting delayed?
Usually for ordinary reasons: proposals come from the same small circle, each one takes months, and most fall away over something that could have been seen at the start. Some charts also carry positions traditionally read as delaying marriage, which an astrologer can look at with you. What we can do about it directly is widen the circle beyond your relatives and rule out the mismatches before anybody travels.
Can a dosha be remedied?
The tradition prescribes parihar — puja, specific fasts, gemstones, and in some readings a preliminary ceremony. Our astrologers will tell you what is prescribed for your chart and what it involves. We will not tell you a remedy is guaranteed to work, and we will tell you first whether the dosha applies at all, because very often it does not.
Do you check kundali milan before suggesting a match?
Yes. Every pairing we consider is scored on the 36-point Ashtakoot system from both birth charts, and you are told the score. We treat it as one factor among several rather than a pass or fail, because a workable match can sit below 18 and a poor one above it.
Is my profile shown publicly on the website?
No. Nothing you register is published anywhere, there is no public profile wall, and nobody can search the bureau. You are shown only to members of the opposite gender whose stated requirements you meet and who meet yours. Your name, phone number, e-mail and address are never shown to anybody, your photograph only to members on a plan that includes it, and you can hide or delete your registration yourself at any time.
What does it cost?
Registering is free, and we tell you how many people match your requirements. A membership shows who they are and lets you start chats: Silver shows the basics and photographs, Gold adds date of birth, nakshatra, education, work and earnings, and Diamond adds family background. Each is sold for several lengths of time, from a short stretch to a year. All fees are in Nepali Rupees and nothing renews on its own.
Can I register if I am divorced or widowed?
Yes. The form asks about marital status because it matters to what each family is looking for, not to decide whether you may register. Many people register looking specifically for a second marriage, and they are matched on it like any other requirement.
Can I register on behalf of my son or daughter?
Yes, and most registrations come from parents. Put the details of the person who is to be married, and your own phone number as the contact.
Do I have to be in Kathmandu?
No. Registration and your matches work from anywhere, and families register from across Nepal and from abroad. The birth place is picked from a full list of countries, provinces and cities so the chart is cast from the right coordinates and time zone wherever you were born.
Can I ask you to delete my details later?
Yes, at any time, and the photograph goes with the record. You can do it yourself from My account, or call or email us and it is removed.
Can I talk to a match before we meet, without giving my number?
Yes. With a membership you can ask a match to chat. If they accept, you write to each other inside the bureau and neither of you is shown the other’s name or phone number; messages that contain them, or an e-mail, a link or a social handle, are not sent. Our staff may read conversations to keep everyone safe. When you both want to meet, tell the office and we arrange it.
