Quick Answer: What is Rajju Porondam?

Rajju Porondam (රජ්ජු පොරොන්දම) is MOST CRITICAL porondam in 20 porondam for Mangala Yojana. It checks 5 body parts: Pada (feet), Kati (waist), Nabhi (navel), Kanta (neck), Siro (head). If boy & girl have SAME Rajju type = Rajju Dosha = Total 0/20 - Marriage NOT recommended (widow dosha - වැන්දඹු දෝෂය). Heesara.lk shows Original 17/20 → Display 0/20 when Rajju fails.

In Porondam 20, Rajju Porondam (රජ්ජු පොරොන්දම) is the only porondam with NO remedy. Even with 19/20 score, if Rajju fails, total becomes 0/20. Here is why Rajju is critical for Mangala Yojana (මංගල යෝජනා) - Matrimony Sri Lanka.

What is Rajju? - 5 Body Parts from Feet to Head

Rajju means rope or thread. In astrology, Nakshatras are mapped to 5 body parts like a rope from feet to head. If both boy and girl nakshatras fall on same body part, that part gets afflicted - indicates widowhood.

Why Rajju Porondam Makes Total 0/20? - Heesara.lk Logic

✅

Different Rajju = PASS (1 mark)

Girl: Pada Rajju (feet)
Boy: Siro Rajju (head)
Rajju = 1/1 ✓
Different body parts = OK

Different Rajju = No dosha = Marriage allowed

🚫

Same Rajju = FAIL - Total 0/20

Girl: Siro Rajju (head)
Boy: Siro Rajju (head)
Rajju = 0/1 - BLOCKED
Original 17/20 → Display 0/20

Same Rajju = Widow dosha = CRITICAL BLOCKING

Heesara.lk Rajju Logic (porondam-real.ts):

// Rajju & Vedha = Critical blocking - no Bhanga
const criticalDoshas = ['Rajju', 'Vedha']

if (rajjuFails) {
  originalTotal = 17 // Real score
  displayTotal = 0   // Blocked to 0
  isBlocked = true
  criticalReason = 'Rajju Porondam - Same Rajju type'
}

// Unlike Kuja which has Guru Bhanga, Rajju has NO Bhanga
// So if Rajju fails, always 0%
// Original 17/20 → 0/20 in PDF & matches list

This is why matches list page now shows 0% when Rajju fails, but detail page shows 17/20 → 0/20.
