What the deity and gana mean
Uttara Bhadrapada's presiding deity is Ahirbudhnya, and its gana is Manushya. The gana describes the basic disposition — Dev gana is gentle and cooperative, Manushya balanced and practical, Rakshasa firm and direct. The yoni is cow, which indicates instinctive compatibility, and the nadi is Madhya, which carries the heaviest weight in kundali matching.

For Uttara Bhadrapada the yoni is cow, the gana Manushya and the nadi Madhya, and matching works off exactly those. Note that when both people share the same nadi, all 8 nadi points drop to zero.
