Count from bride's nakshatra to groom's nakshatra (inclusive). If the count matches any of the Mahendra numbers (4, 7, 10, 13, 16, 19, 22, 25), the porutham is present.
FAQ
Q.Is Mahendra Porutham essential?
No, it is supportive rather than essential. Marriage can proceed without Mahendra if the critical poruthams (Rajju, Vedha) and most important ones (Dina, Gana, Yoni) are present. However, its presence adds prosperity and progeny blessings.
