A Kundli (also called Janam Kundli, birth chart, or horoscope) is a map of the sky at the moment of your birth. In Vedic astrology it records the positions of the Sun, Moon, five visible planets (Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn), and the lunar nodes (Rahu and Ketu) as viewed from earth, projected onto the zodiac.
This tool computes the sidereal (Lahiri) longitudes of all nine grahas using Meeus-based astronomical algorithms, assigns them to whole-sign houses, and derives the Panchang (Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, Vaara), Vimshottari Dasha, and Mangal Dosha status. Whether all seven classical planets are hemmed on one side of the Rahu-Ketu axis - the Kaal Sarp Dosha configuration - is checked separately by the Kaal Sarp Dosha calculator, and the Sun-and-9th-house Pitra Dosha indicators by the Pitra Dosha Calculator.
Lagna (ascendant) is the zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at your birth moment. It defines house 1. The sign-to-house mapping proceeds in order: house 2 is the next sign, house 3 the one after, through house 12.
Rashi (Moon sign) is the zodiac sign the Moon was in at birth. It is the most commonly referenced sign in Indian astrology (when someone asks “what’s your rashi?”, this is what they mean).
D9 (Navamsa) is a divisional chart where each sign is split into 9 equal parts of 3°20′, each mapped to a sign. It is used alongside D1 for marriage analysis and to gauge a planet’s underlying strength. For a dedicated D9 reading - your Navamsa Lagna, per-planet D9 placements, and any vargottama planets - see the Navamsa Chart Calculator. The classical combinations that mark a chart for rise and status - the raj yogas - are detected separately by our Raj Yoga Calculator, with an honest base rate and birth-time-confidence check. To rank the same grahas into their Jaimini significators - the Atmakaraka (soul) through to the Darakaraka (spouse) - use the Chara Karaka Calculator. And if you want all of these in one snapshot - charts, positions and dasha summary on a single page with a one-click shareable image - build Your Vedic Profile.

Nakshatra is the lunar mansion (13°20′ of ecliptic) in which the Moon sits at birth. It determines which of the 9 Vimshottari Dasha lords rules your starting Mahadasha.

Also known as: Mangal Dosha (Sanskrit / Hindi), Manglik Dosha (matrimonial vernacular), Kuja Dosha (Telugu / Kannada), Chevvai Dosham or Sevvai Dosham (Tamil), Mangal Dosh (North Indian / schwa-deleted form).
Mangal Dosha is a Vedic astrological condition said to arise when Mars occupies specific houses in the birth chart. It is traditionally checked before marriage alliances in many Indian communities.
The standard check flags Mars in houses 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, and 12, counted from three reference points: Lagna, Moon, and Venus. If any reference flags it, the overall status is “Manglik”. (Some traditions exclude house 2 - we include it, matching the majority of Indian matrimonial practice.)
This tool applies the basic check without cancellation rules. Classical tradition recognises many exceptions (Mars in its own sign, exalted Mars, certain Jupiter aspects, matching dosha in the partner’s chart), so a “Manglik” label here should not be treated as a final matchmaking verdict. Consult a qualified astrologer for detailed analysis.
For a dedicated Mangal Dosha check with severity heuristic, the full multilingual alias table, and an honest base-rate disclosure (about 85-90% of charts get flagged under the simplified rule), see our standalone Mangal Dosha Calculator.
Vimshottari Dasha is a system of 120-year planetary cycles in Vedic astrology. It divides your life into 9 major periods (Mahadashas), each ruled by one of the 9 grahas.
| Order | Lord | Duration |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Ketu | 7 years |
| 2 | Venus | 20 years |
| 3 | Sun | 6 years |
| 4 | Moon | 10 years |
| 5 | Mars | 7 years |
| 6 | Rahu | 18 years |
| 7 | Jupiter | 16 years |
| 8 | Saturn | 19 years |
| 9 | Mercury | 17 years |
| Total | 120 years |
Your starting Mahadasha is determined by the nakshatra the Moon was in at birth. The balance of the first Mahadasha is proportional to how far the Moon had already traversed that nakshatra. Each Mahadasha is subdivided into 9 Antardashas in the same 9-lord order, where each sub-period’s length is proportional to its own Dasha lord’s share of the 120-year total.
Calculations use Meeus-based astronomical algorithms (“Astronomical Algorithms”, Jean Meeus, 2nd edition, 1998) with VSOP87 planetary theory, the same maths used by most open-source ephemeris libraries. The Lahiri ayanamsa uses a linear mean model referenced to the 1900 epoch, with the nutation-in-longitude term applied in the sidereal conversion - the true-ayanamsa handling Swiss Ephemeris uses.
Measured against Swiss Ephemeris Lahiri, the seven classical planets agreed within 12 arcseconds across 1,176 sampled epochs per body from 1900 through 2031 - the largest observed difference was 11.29 arcseconds. Rahu and Ketu use the mean node (a convention, not an observable), house cusps sit outside the audit, and we publish no accuracy figure from 2032 onward, where delta-T models diverge. That is far inside the tolerance that matters for Vedic placements - signs span 30°, nakshatras 13°20′, pada 3°20′ - so the audited bodies' sign, nakshatra, and pada assignments are stable across our engine and Swiss-Eph-based calculators for non-boundary placements. Boundary-adjacent placements (see below) are the exception. Whole-sign houses hang on the Lagna as well, and the Lagna's dominant uncertainty is birth time, not the ephemeris - the tool reports your minutes-to-boundary for exactly that reason.
Boundary cases are the exception. When a planet sits very close to a sign, nakshatra, pada, or navamsa boundary (within roughly 0.01°, or 36 arcseconds, of the cutoff), a small difference between ayanamsa or nutation implementations can flip the placement to the neighbouring bucket. Dasha lord derivation is especially sensitive near nakshatra boundaries, since the starting Mahadasha changes. If you see a planet or the Moon within ~0.01° of a boundary in your chart, cross-check with a professional ephemeris (Swiss Ephemeris, Drik Panchang, or a qualified astrologer) before relying on it.
We do not claim Swiss-Ephemeris-grade or Drik-Panchang-grade precision. If you need observatory-accurate longitudes to the arc-second, use a professional ephemeris. For the full engine story - the exact planetary theory, the pinned parity checks against Jagannatha Hora and Drik Panchang, and how the calculators are tested - read Kundli Calculator Accuracy: How DesiUtils Computes Charts.

Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa, the official standard published by the Government of India's Rashtriya Panchang. It's the most widely used sidereal reference in Indian astrology.
Measured against Swiss Ephemeris Lahiri, the seven classical planets (Sun through Saturn) agreed within 12 arcseconds across 1,176 sampled epochs per body from 1900 through 2031 - the largest observed difference was 11.29 arcseconds. Rahu and Ketu use the mean node, a convention rather than an observable, and house cusps sit outside that audit. For the audited bodies, sign, nakshatra, pada, and navamsa assignments are stable except when a planet sits very close to a boundary - pada (3°20′) and navamsa boundaries are especially narrow, so if a planet is within about 0.01° (36 arcseconds) of one, cross-check with a professional ephemeris before acting on the placement. Whole-sign house assignments additionally depend on the Lagna, whose real uncertainty is your birth time (the rising sign changes roughly every two hours); the tool reports how close your Lagna sits to a sign boundary in clock minutes.
The underlying Meeus-based algorithms are tuned for arc-minute accuracy in the modern epoch. Older dates can be computed but with reduced precision in planetary longitudes and historical timezone lookups.
Whole-sign houses: house 1 is the Lagna sign, house 2 the next sign, and so on through house 12. This is the traditional Vedic system used across Indian astrology traditions.
We check Mars's whole-sign house from Lagna, Moon, and Venus. If Mars falls in houses 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, or 12 from any reference point, that reference flags the dosha. Any flag makes the overall status Manglik. This is a simplified check; traditional cancellation rules (own-sign Mars, Jupiter aspects, partner-side cancellation) are not applied.
Vimshottari Dasha is the most common Vedic planetary period system. It assigns 120 years across 9 Dasha lords, with durations: Ketu 7, Venus 20, Sun 6, Moon 10, Mars 7, Rahu 18, Jupiter 16, Saturn 19, Mercury 17. Your starting Mahadasha is determined by the nakshatra of the Moon at birth.
Both show identical data. North Indian is a diamond-in-square with Lagna fixed at the top (signs rotate based on Lagna). South Indian is a 4x4 grid with signs fixed in place (Pisces top-left, clockwise) and Lagna marked with 'La'. Pick whichever is more familiar.
Yes, and our companion Kundli Matching tool runs the 36-Guna Ashtakoot (Guna Milan) compatibility analysis for two partners. This Kundli gives you the Moon sign, nakshatra, pada, and Mangal Dosha status - the core inputs consumed by the matching tool. We don't recommend making matrimonial decisions from software alone; consult a qualified astrologer alongside.
Different tools use different ayanamsas (Lahiri vs Raman vs KP vs Fagan-Bradley), house systems (whole-sign vs Placidus vs Sripati), or precession polynomials. We use the Lahiri sidereal + whole-sign conventions shared by most Indian Panchang publications (including Drik Panchang and the Rashtriya Panchang), but exact degrees may differ by a fraction from calculators using Swiss Ephemeris or alternate precession models - that is expected.
