June 9, 2026 · 12 min read · MatrimonyTrust
For Kongu Vellala Gounder families, Nakshathiram (birth star) compatibility is the foundation of matrimony matching. This complete reference lists all 27 Nakshathirams with their Raasi, Rajju group, and Vedha pairs — giving families a clear reference for checking compatibility.
What Is Nakshathiram?
Nakshathiram (also written as Nakshatra or Natchathiram) is the birth star — the lunar mansion in which the Moon was placed at the time of birth. There are 27 Nakshathirams in Hindu astrology. Nakshathiram is different from Raasi (sun sign) — it is the primary input for Porutham calculations in Tamil astrology.
How to Check Nakshathiram Compatibility
Two checks are critical for Kongu Vellala Gounder families:
- Rajju group: Both bride and groom must be in different Rajju groups. Same Rajju group = Rajju mismatch = inauspicious.
- Vedha pair: The bride's and groom's Nakshathirams must not form a Vedha pair. Vedha pairs are "afflicting" pairs — their combination is traditionally avoided.
Beyond Rajju and Vedha, there are 8 more Poruthams — but these two are the critical filters for Gounder families. MatrimonyTrust calculates all 10 automatically.

Quick Reference: Same Rajju Group = Mismatch
If both bride and groom have Nakshathirams in the same Rajju group (e.g., both in Pada Rajju), the match is inauspicious in Gounder tradition. For example: bride = Ashwini (Pada) + groom = Jyeshtha (Pada) = Rajju mismatch. But bride = Ashwini (Pada) + groom = Rohini (Kanta) = Rajju matches.
