API Overview & Calculation Details

Methodology and astrological context for Lal Kitab Birth Chart Extended.

The Lal Kitab Birth Chart Extended API is an enhanced version of the standard Lal Kitab Birth Chart endpoint. It generates a comprehensive natal chart based on the Lal Kitab astrological system — a distinct tradition within Vedic astrology — and supplements it with deeper interpretive and analytical data that goes beyond basic planetary placements.

What This API Returns

Given a person's birth date, time, and geographic coordinates, the API computes a full Lal Kitab birth chart and returns an enriched dataset that includes:

  • Planetary positions — sidereal placement of all major planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu) across the 12 Lal Kitab houses
  • House assignments — detailed mapping of planets to houses using Lal Kitab's fixed-sign house system
  • Ascendant (Lagna) — the rising sign at birth, forming the structural basis of the chart
  • Extended planetary data — additional attributes per planet such as dignity, strength indicators, debilitation/exaltation status, and Lal Kitab-specific classifications
  • Pitra Rin (ancestral debt) indicators — Lal Kitab's unique concept of karmic planetary debts, identifying which planets carry debt and in which houses
  • Retrograde and combust status — flags for planets that are retrograde or combust at the time of birth, which carry specific Lal Kitab interpretive weight
  • Ayanamsha-corrected calculations — sidereal positions adjusted using the specified Ayanamsha for precise astronomical accuracy
  • Chart rendering data — structured output suitable for generating a visual birth chart diagram
