What is kundali (janma kundli)?

Kundali (janma kundli) is a Vedic birth chart showing the positions of nine grahas (planets) at your exact birth moment. Computed using Sūrya-Siddhānta mathematics, it displays your lagna (ascendant), house placements, and daśā (time periods) — the structural map of your Vedic identity.

How accurate is the Bharat Ephemeris kundali calculator?

Bharat Ephemeris computes kundali with arc-minute precision: Sun within ~0.1′ (p95) and Moon within ~1′ vs NASA-JPL Horizons. It uses the Sūrya-Siddhānta algorithm and the Lahiri ayanāṃśa (Indian standard).

Is a free kundali accurate?

Yes. The free Bharat Ephemeris kundali is fully accurate — it computes the same Vedic birth chart as a paid consultation. Free means no payment barrier; accuracy is always provided. It is the structure of your chart, not a prediction tool.

What do the 12 houses in a kundali mean?

The 12 houses represent life domains: 1 (self), 2 (wealth), 3 (siblings), 4 (home), 5 (children/creativity), 6 (health), 7 (marriage), 8 (longevity), 9 (dharma/luck), 10 (career), 11 (gains), 12 (loss/liberation). Each house's planets show where that graha's energy flows.

How do I read my vedic birth chart?

Start with your lagna (ascendant), then locate each graha and its house. Identify your janma nakṣatra (Moon's birth lunar mansion). Check your daśā table for current periods. Study the chart's overall structure — conjunctions, aspects, empty houses. Learn more in our complete kundali guide.

What is the Lahiri ayanāṃśa?

The Lahiri ayanāṃśa (Chitra-pakṣa) is the Indian government standard for the precession of the equinoxes in Vedic astrology. It defines the offset between the tropical zodiac (Western) and the sidereal zodiac (Vedic). Bharat Ephemeris uses Lahiri exclusively — it is the canonical Indian ayanāṃśa.

Does Bharat Ephemeris provide predictions or remedies?

No. Bharat Ephemeris is a computation instrument — it delivers the mathematically exact chart and traditional data tables (pañcāṅga, daśā, varga, yogas, sahams). We do not offer predictions, remedies, or fear-based guidance. The house refuses fear-commerce.
