Lal Kitab Birth Chart API

The Lal Kitab Birth Chart API generates a birth chart (Kundali) based on the ancient Lal Kitab astrological system — a distinct branch of Vedic astrology originating from 19th-century Urdu texts. Unlike classical Jyotish charts, Lal Kitab uses a unique house-based planetary placement system with its own set of interpretive rules, remedies, and symbolism.

What This API Returns

Given a person's birth date, time, and geographic coordinates, the API computes and returns a complete Lal Kitab natal chart. The response includes:

• Planetary positions — placement of all major planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu) across the 12 houses of the Lal Kitab chart
• House assignments — which planets occupy which houses, following Lal Kitab's fixed-sign house system
• Ascendant (Lagna) — the rising sign at the time of birth, used as the chart's foundation
• Ayanamsha-corrected calculations — sidereal positions adjusted using the specified Ayanamsha (e.g., Lahiri), ensuring accurate tropical-to-sidereal conversion
• Chart rendering data — structured data suitable for rendering a visual birth chart diagram

Main Use Cases

• Astrology applications — powering Lal Kitab-based horoscope and Kundali features in consumer or enterprise astrology platforms
• Personalized readings — generating birth chart data as the foundation for Lal Kitab-specific predictions, debt analysis (Pitra Rin), and planetary remedy suggestions
• Comparative astrology — running Lal Kitab charts alongside standard Vedic (Parashari) charts to offer users multiple astrological perspectives
• Research and education — enabling developers and astrologers to study Lal Kitab planetary placements programmatically across large datasets
