Papasamyam is just a critical facet of matchmaking. When astrologers fit horoscopes to check on for suitability before repairing a fit, Papasamyam is used to calculate the dosham in the horoscopes to determine perhaps the potential bride and groom are ideal for one another or not. The position of Mars, Saturn, Sunlight, Rahu and Ketu in a horoscope decides the dosham. When these planets are placed in the very first, second, 4th, 7th, 8th and 12th properties from the Moon indicator, the lagna and Venus, these planets can create specific problems in a marriage. The depth and the negative affect of the Dosham depends on the houses these planets are put in, whether the properties the planets are in are astrologically regarded as the house an amiable or hostile planet (Uchcham) , whether it is Similar or leader and whether it is high or minimal (Neecham).

There are different practices which can be used to work through the Dosham index. One process employs the idea program, allotting points based on the idea of friendly or rival planets and the positional strength. Another approach is based on the similar details and similar weightage method. Another ways of calculating the dosham utilize the Equivalent Factors and Unequal weightage approach, Unequal Points and Unequal Weightage Strategy, and the Unequal Items and Similar weightage method. When the horoscope of the lick has more Dosha than that of the potential bride's or if both horoscopes have equal number of Dosha, the match is considered to be suitable. Once the horoscope of the bride-to-be has more Dosham, the match is regarded as being unsuitable.

Papasamyam identifies the mismatch in horoscopes and verifies if the Dosham that exists in the horoscope of both the prospective bride or groom is healthy or ended out by the career of planets in the horoscope of the other. For matrimonial dating, the full total dosha in each horoscope is first determined and then the facets are in contrast to the other horoscope. Astrologers check always for several various kinds of Doshas..The kalatra dosham is within a horoscope each time a malefic world is placed in the next, 4th, 7th, 8th and 12th home and thus afflicts the lagna. Once the lagna is weak in the potential groom's horoscope, one other horoscope must have a powerful Mangallya Bhava to certainly be a great match. Once the Mangalya Dosha is contained in the prospective bride's horoscope, a suitable match is when the potential groom's horoscope indicates a endurance span. When the 9th house is weak in either the female or male horoscope, the right fit is once the horoscope of another has a powerful 9th house.
