What is called Gana Porutham?
Gana Porutham assesses horoscope compatibility based on Ganas. Gana is a key porutham in the 10 Porutham analysis. It defines couples’ mental, emotional, and instinctive connections after marriage. It also indicates how a couple communicates differences, supports each other, and resolves conflicts.
Main Categories of Gana Porutham
Ganas are classified as Deva Gana, Manushya Gana and Rakshasa Gana. All 27 Nakshatras fall under these categories.
- Devan Gana denotes the qualities of compassion, love and calmness among couples. People who fall under Deva Gana will be generous, soft-spoken and well-cultured.
- Manushya Gana symbolises the qualities of being genuine and understanding a partner’s feelings in married life. People who come under Manushya Gana will have both good and bad qualities.
- Rakshasa Gana explains strong feelings and determination between couples. People who are under the Rakshasa Gana are rude, rough and aggressive. It is difficult to connect with them, and they always consider themselves right.
- If both the boy and the girl possess Deva Gana porutham, it is considered Ati Uttamam.
- If both the boy and the girl have Manushya Gana porutham, it is considered Uttamam.
- If both the girl and the boy are matched as Rakshasa Gana porutham, astrologers will not recommend the match because after marriage, the married couple will never be happy, and their marriage will not last long.
- If the girl is Deva Gana and the boy is Manushya Gana or vice versa, the match is considered Mathimam (not bad).
- If the boy is a Rakshasa Gana and the girl is either a Deva Gana or a Manushya Gana, the match is considered Mathimam (not bad).
- If the girl falls under the Rakshasa Gana and the boy belongs to any other Gana, the match is considered Athamam, and it will not be recommended.
