Methodology and astrological context for Pitra Dosha Detailed.
Provides a comprehensive, in-depth analysis of Pitra Dosha in a person's Vedic birth chart, returning a significantly richer interpretive payload than the standard Pitra Dosha endpoint.
Pitra Dosha is a karmic affliction in Vedic astrology associated with unresolved ancestral debts and disruptions in the paternal lineage, typically triggered when the Sun, Moon, or the 9th house is afflicted by malefic planets such as Rahu, Saturn, or Mars. This endpoint performs the same core detection as the base Pitra Dosha endpoint — computing the birth chart from the provided date, time, and geographic coordinates, identifying afflicting planetary combinations, and assessing dosha presence — but returns a substantially expanded response.
The detailed variant goes beyond a summary result to provide a house-by-house breakdown of afflictions, individual analysis of each contributing planetary combination, domain-specific effect descriptions, and richer contextual interpretation of the dosha's karmic significance. It is designed for use cases that require a full, report-ready Pitra Dosha analysis rather than a high-level indicator.
The API returns a structured JSON response with an extended set of fields, including:
