API Overview & Calculation Details

Methodology and astrological context for Sudarshan Chakra Chart Image Extended.

Sudarshan Chakra Chart Image Extended

Generates an extended Sudarshan Chakra astrological chart as an image, based on a person's birth details and geographic coordinates. This is the extended variant of the Sudarshan Chakra chart, providing a more detailed and visually prominent rendering suited for in-depth Vedic astrological analysis.

What this API does

The Sudarshan Chakra is a composite Vedic astrology chart that presents the Lagna (Ascendant), Surya (Solar), and Chandra (Lunar) charts together in a single concentric wheel diagram. The extended version of this chart expands on the standard rendering by applying a heavier outer boundary (default outerLineWidth of 5 vs. 2 in the base version), producing a bolder, more defined chart frame that is better suited for print, publication, or detailed on-screen display.

This endpoint computes planetary positions and house placements for the given birth data and renders the full extended Sudarshan Chakra as a visual image.

What data it returns

The API returns a rendered image of the extended Sudarshan Chakra chart. The image visually encodes:

  • The three concentric chart wheels (Lagna, Surya, and Chandra) with a more prominent outer boundary
  • Zodiac signs placed in their respective houses across all three wheels
  • Planetary positions distributed across the houses
  • An optional Swastik symbol at the center of the chart

The visual output is fully customizable in terms of colors, sizes, fonts, line weights, and symbolic representations.

Main use cases

  • Print-ready horoscope generation where a bolder, more visually defined chart frame is required for physical documents, reports, or publications
  • Vedic astrology applications that offer both a standard and an enhanced chart view, giving users the choice of rendering style
  • Astrology dashboards and portals that display high-fidelity chart images for detailed practitioner or client review
  • Comparative chart analysis where the extended rendering makes it easier to distinguish the three chart layers at a glance

Key functionality

  • Birth data input: Accepts day, month, year, hour, minute, second, and timezone offset to precisely calculate planetary positions at the moment of birth.
  • Geographic coordinates: Uses latitude and longitude to determine the local horizon and house cusps.
  • Ayanamsha support: The X-Ayanamsha header allows selection of the ayanamsha system (e.g., Lahiri, Raman, KP) used for sidereal calculations, ensuring compatibility with different Vedic astrology traditions.
  • Enhanced outer boundary: The default outerLineWidth is set to 5 (compared to 2 in the base endpoint), giving the chart a bolder, more prominent outer frame suitable for detailed or print-quality output.
  • Chart appearance customization: Full control over the chart's visual style, including background color, inner and outer border line colors and widths, zodiac sign colors, planet colors, chart size, and font sizes for signs and planets.
  • Symbol vs. name display: Signs and planets can be rendered as traditional symbols or as text labels/numbers, catering to both traditional practitioners and learners.
  • Swastik overlay: Optionally renders a Swastik symbol at the chart center with configurable fill color, stroke color, and stroke width — a traditional auspicious element in Vedic chart presentations.
  • Multilingual support: The Accept-Language header enables localized output for sign and planet labels.
