Dashaporutham
Dashaporutham is the traditional ten-factor compatibility method used in Kerala astrology to compare the bride and groom birth stars.
The ten poruthams are used as a structured first pass in marriage matching. They help identify whether the pair has support for attraction, emotional rhythm, health, family stability, and social harmony.
