API Overview & Calculation Details

Methodology and astrological context for Kalsarpa Dosha Detailed.

Kalsarpa Dosha Detailed

Provides a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of the Kalsarpa Dosha in a person's Vedic birth chart, returning significantly richer interpretive data than the standard Kalsarpa Dosha endpoint.

What this API does

Kalsarpa Dosha arises in a Vedic birth chart when all seven classical planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn) are positioned between the lunar nodes Rahu and Ketu. This is considered one of the most consequential doshas in Vedic astrology, with wide-ranging effects on a native's life trajectory.

This endpoint performs the same core detection as the base Kalsarpa Dosha endpoint — computing planetary positions from the birth data, identifying the presence and type of the dosha — but goes further by returning an expanded, detailed breakdown of the dosha's characteristics, house-wise analysis, and its specific implications across different life domains. It is designed for use cases that require deep astrological insight rather than a summary result.

What data it returns

The API returns a structured JSON response with an extended set of fields, including:

  • Dosha presence and type: Whether Kalsarpa Dosha is present and the specific named variant (e.g., Anant, Kulik, Vasuki, Shankhpal, Padma, Mahapadma, Takshak, Karkotak, Shankhnaad, Patak, Vishdhar, Sheshnag)
  • Full vs. partial classification: Whether the dosha is complete (all planets strictly within the nodal axis) or partial, along with the serpent's direction (ascending or descending)
  • House-wise analysis: Detailed information about the houses occupied by Rahu and Ketu and how the hemmed planets interact with those house significations
  • Life domain effects: Expanded textual descriptions of the dosha's influence across specific areas such as career, finances, relationships, health, and spiritual growth
  • Dosha intensity and severity: A more granular assessment of how strongly the dosha manifests based on the specific planetary configuration
  • Remedial guidance context: Richer contextual information to support astrological consultation and remedy recommendation

Main use cases

  • Professional astrology consultation platforms where practitioners need a thorough, ready-to-present analysis of Kalsarpa Dosha for client sessions
  • Detailed horoscope report generation that includes a dedicated, multi-paragraph section on Kalsarpa Dosha with house-level and domain-level breakdowns
  • Kundali analysis tools that differentiate between a quick dosha check and a full interpretive report, offering the detailed endpoint for premium or in-depth readings
  • Research and educational astrology applications that require granular data about dosha types, planetary configurations, and their classical interpretations
  • Spiritual and wellness platforms providing users with a deep understanding of karmic patterns and life challenges indicated by their birth chart
