Nadi Milan is the last part of the process of matching Kundalis. This is also considered to be an important Milan. Eight points have been given to this Milan.

According to others, it is believed that if the bride and the groom belong to the same Nadi, the child may also suffer from health problems of parents.
Nadi should not be same for the bride and the groom. However, marriage can take place if Nadi is same and the Nakshatras are different. For example : If the bride and the groom are born in Gemini sign, they belong to Aadi Nadi. But, since one will belong to Ardra Nakshatra and the other will belong to Punarvasu Nakshatra, there will be no Nadi Dosh. Some also believe that nadi dosha rectifies, if the stages in a Nakshatra are different even if the Nakshatra is same for both bride and the groom.
