Nakshatra Dosha Detailed
Provides a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of Nakshatra Dosha in a person's Vedic birth chart, returning a significantly richer interpretive payload than the standard Nakshatra Dosha endpoint.
What this API does
Nakshatra Dosha arises when the Moon occupies certain lunar mansions at birth that are considered inauspicious under classical Vedic rules — such as Moola, Ashlesha, Jyeshtha, or Vishakha — and is traditionally associated with adverse effects on specific family members or life domains. This endpoint performs the same core detection as the base Nakshatra Dosha endpoint — computing the Moon's Nakshatra and pada from the provided birth data and evaluating classical dosha conditions — but returns a substantially expanded response.
The detailed variant goes beyond a summary result to provide a thorough breakdown of each triggered dosha condition, individual analysis of the Nakshatra's characteristics and its pada-specific implications, domain-level effect descriptions, and richer contextual interpretation of the dosha's karmic and familial significance. It is designed for use cases that require a full, report-ready Nakshatra Dosha analysis rather than a high-level indicator.
What data it returns
The API returns a structured JSON response with an extended set of fields, including:
- Dosha presence and intensity: Whether Nakshatra Dosha is present and a graded assessment of its strength
- Nakshatra details: The name, number, lord, deity, and pada of the Moon's Nakshatra at birth, along with its classical characteristics
- Dosha type breakdown: A detailed account of each specific Nakshatra Dosha condition triggered (e.g., Moola Dosha, Ashlesha Dosha, Jyeshtha Dosha), including the classical rule that applies and its traditional basis
- Pada-specific analysis: Interpretation of the dosha's severity and nature based on the specific pada (quarter) of the Nakshatra occupied by the Moon
- Affected family member or life area: Detailed descriptions of which family members or life domains are traditionally considered most at risk, with contextual explanations
- Life domain effects: Expanded textual descriptions of the dosha's influence across specific areas — family harmony, marriage, progeny, health, and spiritual progress
- Remedial context: Contextual information to support remedy recommendation, including the severity of the affliction, the classical rules that apply, and the types of remedies traditionally prescribed
