South Indian marriage compatibility: all twelve poruthams from one call. Give both partners' birth star (1-27) and pada (1-4). Each porutham comes back with its traditional result and its South Indian variant side by side. This is a DIFFERENT system from North Indian Ashtakoota gun milan, which /api/astro/ashtakoota/ answers. Both read the same two birth stars and disagree about what matters, so pick the one your tradition uses — Tamil, Telugu and Kannada matching use these poruthams. No birth times or places are needed, and that is not a shortcut: porutham is assessed from the nakshatra and its quarter, so a date would be an input the calculation never reads.
