This aids the couple to enjoy all comforts in a long and a happy married life. For this reason, dina porutham is considered crucial for a happy long lasting marriage. The below information will provide the rules for Dina Porutham.

Rule 1:

a. Counting from the female’s nakshatra, count of 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 11, 13, 15, 18, 20, 24 or 26 nakshatra are acceptable. [Example female is Bharany Nakshatra.] Take as Bharany to be 1. 2^nd Nakshatra from Bharany will be Krittika which is to be accepted in matching if boy is Krittika. 3^rd Nakshatra Rohini is to be avoided. So on so forth.

b. Below table is Taara Balam Table. One can use this as a reference too. Based on the above example, Bharany will be will be considered the Janma Nakshatra, Krittika will be considered as Sampath (Very good to match) and Rohini to be avoided as its the 3^rd (Vipat) [Take note: Counting from female’s Nakshtra the 17th, 22^nd and 27^th Nakshatras are to be avoided even though the below Taara Balam table allows for it]

Exception to Rule 1:

1. Counting from the female Nakshatra, the 12^th Star’s 2^nd, 3^rd,4^th Padas are accepted, 14^th Stars 1^st,2^nd & 3^rd Padas are accepted and 16^th Star’s 1^st,2^nd and 4^th padas are accepted.

Example : Hasta Nakshatra’s (12^th Star from Bharany) 2^nd, 3^rd,4^th Pada is accepted in Dina Porutham

2. Some texts claims that if 27^th Nakshatra falls on the same raasi, its acceptable and is considered Paramamitra. Example for Bharany (Mesha raasi), 27^th Nakshatra is  Ashwini (Mesha) which is accepted as both Ashwini & Bharany falls on the same raasi Mesha.

Example Female Nakshatra is Ashwini (Mesha). The 27^th Nakshatra will be Revathi(Pisces). Since it falls in different signs it is to be avoided. 

3. Ashtama Raasi’s Nakshatras all wont match. Example for Bharany which is Mesha Raasi. The 8^th Raasi from Mesha will be Scorpio. All nakshatra in Scorpio to be avoided. Example: Visakha 4^th Pada, Anusham and Kettai/Jyestha all to be avoided.

4. If both Male and Female fall under the same Nakshatra it can be accepted at times. If both of them are Rohini, Ardra, Pushya, Makha, Hastam, Thiruvonam à Match is uthamam and very good. [Boy is Rohini and Female is Rohini it is accepted]

5. If both Male and Female fall under the same Nakshatra it can be accepted at times. If both of them are Ashwini, Krittika, Mirugashirisha, Punarpoosam, Uthiram, Chitrai, Anusham, Uthiradam its know as Mathimam (Average Match) and can be matched.

6. If both Male and Female fall under the same following nakshatras, matching should not be done. Bharany, Ayilyam, Purva-falguni, Swathi, Vishaka, Jyestha, Moola, Purvashada, Dhanishta, Sathabhisha, Purva bhdrabad, Uthira bhadrapad, Revathi to be avoided.

7. Take note: If both male and female same nakshatra and same pada, avoid matching. Example both are Rohini Nakshatras and same Nakshatra Pada, matching should be avoided. Example both boy and girl are 3^rd Pada of Rohini, avoid matching.

8.Take note: Say Both Boy and Girl are same Raasi. The male’s Nakshtra should take lead. Example female is Bharany Nakshatra. Male Nakshatra should be Ashwini as only after Ashwini comes Bharany.

9.Take Note: Say Boy and Girl is Ashwini. This is Mathimam. The male’s Nakshtra pada should take lead. Example, girl’s Pada is 3^rd pada Ashwini. Boy should be 1^st/2^nd Pada Ashwini. If Girl is 2nd Pada Ashwini, Boy can only be 1st Pada of Ashwini.

10. Take Note: Counting from Girl’s Nakstra Pada, the 88th nakshatra pada should always be avoided. This is known an Vainasigam. Example: Girl is Ashwini 1^st Pada. Boy should not be Sharavana 4^th Pada. If so, avoid matching them.
