Kuta matching →

Also: Kuta comparison

Traditional Indian relationship-comparison schemes that evaluate named factors, commonly using the two natal Moons; rules and scoring vary.

Word origin, evidence & sources
Word origin · etymology
Kuta represents Sanskrit kūṭa (कूट), used as a technical name for a factor in traditional horoscope matching.

Monier-Williams records senses including a peak, heap or multitude. Those literal senses do not establish why the matching term arose; here its technical use is documented separately in the Jyotish manual.

How we know · epistemology
Traditional matching conventions

A score summarizes the chosen scheme, not a measured probability of relationship success. Sign counts or graha drishti alone do not constitute Kuta matching; the studio does not calculate it.
