Shravana (Thiruvonam) belongs to Kantha Rajju. In Pairutham’s ten-porutham check, Rajju Porutham is marked Pass when two partners belong to different Rajju groups, and Caution when both charts share Kantha Rajju. The other birth stars in Kantha Rajju are Rohini (Rohini), Ardra (Thiruvathirai), Hasta (Hastham), Swati (Swathi), Shatabhisha (Sadayam). When a match involves two Kantha Rajju stars, families typically review the full chart and regional conventions with a family astrologer.

Gana (Deva) & Yoni (Monkey (Vanara)) Compatibility
Shravana belongs to Deva Gana. In the 6-point Gana koota and Tamil Gana Porutham, a Deva Gana star scores the full 6 of 6 points (Pass) with another Deva Gana star and 5 or 6 points (Pass) with Manusha Gana stars. When paired with a Rakshasa Gana star, classical tables award 0 points (Caution), prompting families to check whether Rasi, Rasi Athipathi and star distance (>14 stars) balance the chart.
Shravana is assigned the Monkey (Vanara) Yoni archetype, which it shares with Purva Ashadha (Pooradam). Matching Shravana with Purva Ashadha (or another Shravana chart) awards the maximum 4 of 4 Yoni points, while friendly and neutral Yoni archetypes award 3 or 2 classical points (Pass for Yoni Porutham).

Same-Nakshatra (Eka Nakshatra) Marriage for Shravana (Thiruvonam)
Shravana (Thiruvonam) is one of the eight birth stars widely cited in classical Tamil panchanga traditions—alongside Rohini, Ardra, Pushya, Magha, Vishakha, Shravana, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati—as supportive for same-nakshatra (Eka Nakshatra) marriage, particularly when the two partners were born in different padas. Because two identical stars still share Kantha Rajju and Nadi in raw table lookups, Pairutham flags Rajju Caution transparently and displays both padas so your family astrologer can apply regional Eka Nakshatra rules.

Best-Matching Nakshatras for Shravana (Thiruvonam)
Using Pairutham’s matching rules, the strongest birth-star matches for Shravana (Thiruvonam) are stars outside Kantha Rajju that do not form a Vedhai pair with Shravana and achieve supportive Dina (Tara), Gana and Mahendra star-count alignment—such as Ashwini (Aswini), Punarvasu (Punarpoosam), Purva Bhadrapada (Poorattathi), Mrigashira (Mirugasirisham), Pushya (Poosam), Anuradha (Anusham). Because full compatibility also depends on the exact Moon sign (for split-Rasi stars), Lagna, Mars house placements and Dasha periods, always run the full birth-detail calculator for both partners.
