Rajju Porutham is a compatibility rule in Indian astrology that is used to match the longevity of the partners in a marriage. It is one of the important porutham (matching factors) considered in the traditional Indian system of matchmaking.
The concept of Rajju Porutham is based on the belief that certain zodiac signs are considered compatible with each other, while others are not. The compatibility is determined based on the placement of the zodiac signs in the horoscope chart of the couple. The Rajju Porutham is calculated based on the zodiac signs of the couple and the corresponding rajju, which is the rope-like connection between the zodiac signs.
There are eight different rajju in Indian astrology, each one associated with a specific zodiac sign. The rajju is classified into two groups: the Moolam Rajju and the Sarpa Rajju. The Moolam Rajju is considered to be more compatible and is associated with longevity in marriage, while the Sarpa Rajju is considered to be less compatible and is associated with a shorter lifespan in marriage.
Exceptions to Rajju Porutham are:
- If the boy’s and girl’s rajju belong to the same group, then it is considered a match.
- If the boy’s and girl’s rajju belong to different groups, but the boy’s rajju is a sub-rajju of the girl’s rajju, then it is considered a match.
- If the boy’s and girl’s rajju belong to different groups, but the girl’s rajju is a sub-rajju of the boy’s rajju, then it is considered a match.
It is important to note that Rajju Porutham is just one of many factors considered in Indian astrology when matching partners for marriage. The overall compatibility of a couple is determined by considering several other factors such as the placement of planets in the horoscope chart, the dasa and bhukti periods, and the matching of other porutham such as Nadi and Gana Porutham.
It is also important to note that the traditional Indian astrology is not a science, and its predictions and matching factors are based on ancient beliefs, it is not proven by scientific methodologies. Therefore, the final decision to proceed with a marriage should be based on the couple’s understanding and mutual agreement, rather than solely on the results of astrological calculations.
