Dr. Raahul offers three services: Marriage Compatibility Assessment at ₹5,100 (45 min), Marriage Decision & Compatibility Consultation at ₹11,000 (90 min private session), and the Engaged Couple Success Program at ₹21,000 (4 sessions over 60 days plus 90 days of support).

Guna Milan is the traditional Vedic 36-point compatibility system that scores a bride and groom's Moon nakshatras across eight kutas — Varna, Vashya, Tara, Yoni, Graha Maitri, Gana, Bhakoot and Nadi. A score of 18 or above is generally considered acceptable; 24+ is very good.

Mangal Dosha exists when Mars is placed in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 7th, 8th or 12th house from the Ascendant, Moon or Venus. It is often mitigated when both partners share the dosha, or by specific remedies. Dr. Raahul reviews Manglik strength in the full context of the chart rather than as an automatic block.

Yes — the ascendant (lagna) and many chart divisions change every 2 hours, so a birth time accurate to the nearest 5 minutes makes matching meaningfully more reliable. If your time is uncertain, mention that at booking and Dr. Raahul will use rectification techniques.

Yes. All consultations are conducted online over video call, and the office is in Noida, India. Couples and families in the US, UK, UAE, Canada, Australia and elsewhere regularly book — scheduling is arranged for a time convenient in your zone.

Automated matrimonial matches show only the Ashtakoot score. A consultation combines the full birth chart (D-1, D-9 Navamsa, dasha timing), numerology life-path analysis and Manglik/other dosha review with practical discussion of temperament, family, career and finance — so you leave with a decision framework, not just a number.

Vedic astrology uses planetary positions at birth to read personality and timing. Numerology uses the date-of-birth and name to derive life-path and destiny numbers. Together they cross-check compatibility — a strong astrological match with weak numerological alignment (or vice versa) is often where subtle issues appear later.

Absolutely. Every conversation, birth chart and personal detail shared with Dr. Raahul and his team is treated as strictly confidential. Nothing is discussed with third parties without your explicit consent.

Yes. Muhurat (auspicious timing) recommendations are included in the Marriage Decision Consultation and the Engaged Couple Success Program, taking into account the couple's charts, the wedding location and the specific rituals planned.

For each person: full birth date, exact birth time and birth city. If matching a prospective couple, both persons' details are needed. Additional context — family expectations, prior relationships, specific worries — helps Dr. Raahul give sharper guidance.
