API Overview & Calculation Details

Methodology and astrological context for Avakhada Chakra.

Avakhada Chakra API

What this API does

The Avakhada Chakra API is a Vedic astrology computation service that generates a comprehensive birth chart summary for an individual based on their exact date, time, and place of birth. "Avakhada Chakra" is a foundational table in Jyotish (Indian astrology) that encapsulates the core astrological identity of a person derived from their natal chart. The API performs all planetary and lunar calculations server-side and returns a structured set of astrological attributes in a single response.


What data it returns

The API returns a rich set of Vedic astrological data points, including:

  • Ascendant (Lagna) — The rising zodiac sign at the time of birth and its ruling planet (lord), which governs the individual's physical appearance and overall personality.

  • Moon Sign (Rashi) — The zodiac sign occupied by the Moon at birth and its lord, central to Vedic personality analysis and compatibility matching.

  • Sun Sign — Both the Vedic (sidereal) and Western (tropical) sun signs, along with their lords, reflecting the soul's core nature.

  • Nakshatra — The lunar mansion (one of 27 star clusters) the Moon occupies, its lord, and the specific quarter (Charan) within that Nakshatra. This is critical for naming conventions, Dasha (planetary period) calculations, and compatibility.

  • Tithi — The lunar day at the time of birth, used in muhurta (auspicious timing) and ritual astrology.

  • Paya — The metallic classification (Gold, Silver, Copper, Iron) associated with the Nakshatra, indicating the quality of the birth period.

  • Yog — One of 27 astrological yogas formed by the combined longitude of the Sun and Moon, indicating the nature of the day.

  • Karan — The half-tithi (one of 11 Karans), used in electional astrology.

  • Varna — The spiritual/caste classification (Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya, Shudra) derived from the Moon sign.

  • Vashya — The classification of the Moon sign into one of five categories (Manav, Chatushpad, Jalchar, Vanchar, Keeta) used in compatibility analysis.

  • Tatva (Element) — The elemental nature (Fire, Earth, Air, Water) of the Moon sign.

  • Yoni — The animal symbol associated with the Nakshatra, used extensively in Kundali matching (Ashtakoot Milan).

  • Gan — The temperament classification (Deva/Divine, Manushya/Human, Rakshasa/Demonic) of the Nakshatra.

  • Nadi — One of three Nadi types (Aadi, Madhya, Antya), a critical factor in marriage compatibility scoring.

  • Yunja — The portion of the Nakshatra (Poorvaardha or Uttaraardha) at the time of birth.

  • Name Letter (Naam Akshar) — The recommended syllables for naming a child based on the Nakshatra and Charan, following Vedic tradition.

  • Decanate — The 10-degree subdivision of the sun sign and its ruling planet, used in both Vedic and Western astrology for nuanced personality analysis.


Main use cases

  • Kundali (Birth Chart) Generation — Serving as the foundational data layer for generating a complete Vedic birth chart report for an individual.

  • Kundali Milan (Horoscope Matching) — Supplying the Nakshatra, Rashi, Gan, Nadi, Yoni, Varna, Vashya, and other attributes required to compute the Ashtakoot compatibility score between two individuals for matrimonial matching.

  • Naming Ceremonies (Naamkaran) — Providing the recommended name syllables (Naam Akshar) for newborns based on their Nakshatra and Charan.

  • Personalized Horoscope Applications — Powering astrology apps and platforms that display a user's core astrological profile, daily predictions, and Dasha periods.

  • Muhurta and Ritual Planning — Supplying Tithi, Yog, and Karan data for determining auspicious timings for events and ceremonies.

  • Astrological Consulting Tools — Enabling astrologers and Jyotish practitioners to quickly retrieve a client's complete Avakhada table without manual calculation.
