How does SattvaLok Matrimony differ from other platforms?

SattvaLok combines traditional Vedic compatibility metrics (36-point Ashtakoot Guna Milan, Gotra exclusion, Manglik matching) with modern technology, AI Jyotish consultation, and parent co-management features.

What is Sagotra Exclusion and why is it important?

Sagotra Exclusion automatically filters out profiles that share your gotra (patrilineal lineage) to adhere to traditional Sanatan Vedic marriage principles.

How does the 36-point Guna Milan scoring work?

Ashtakoot Guna Milan evaluates 8 core aspects of compatibility (Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot, and Nadi) totaling 36 points. Scores of 18+ are compatible, while 28+ are highly auspicious.

Can parents & guardians co-manage the profile?

Yes! Parents and guardians can be invited to review candidates, express interest, and coordinate directly with prospective families.
