API Overview & Calculation Details

Methodology and astrological context for Lal Kitab Birth Chart Image Extended.

The Lal Kitab Birth Chart Image Extended API is the most comprehensive image-rendering endpoint in the Lal Kitab chart family. It combines the server-side chart image generation of the standard Image endpoint with the enriched analytical data of the Extended chart endpoint — producing a fully rendered, visually customizable Lal Kitab birth chart image that reflects deeper astrological computations such as Pitra Rin indicators, planetary dignity, and retrograde/combust status.

What This API Returns

Given a person's birth date, time, geographic coordinates, and visual configuration options, the API computes a full extended Lal Kitab birth chart and returns a rendered image that incorporates:

  • A rendered birth chart image — a complete Lal Kitab Kundali diagram with all planetary placements drawn across the 12 houses, in the caller's chosen regional chart style
  • Extended planetary data reflected in the image — placements are computed using the full extended chart logic, including dignity, strength, Pitra Rin (ancestral debt) classification, and retrograde/combust status, ensuring the visual output is backed by richer astrological calculations
  • Chart style variants — support for North Indian, South Indian, and East Indian chart layouts
  • Fully customized visuals — background color, inner and outer line colors and widths, sign and planet colors, font sizes, and chart dimensions are all configurable per request
  • Symbol or text rendering — planets and signs can be displayed as traditional astrological symbols or as text labels/numbers
  • Ayanamsha-corrected planetary positions — all placements are computed using the specified Ayanamsha for precise sidereal accuracy

Main Use Cases

  • Premium astrology applications — delivering the highest-fidelity Lal Kitab chart image for paid or professional tiers, where both visual quality and analytical depth matter
  • Detailed horoscope report generation — embedding an extended-data-backed chart image in PDF or email reports that accompany in-depth Lal Kitab readings, debt analysis, and remedy recommendations
  • White-label and branded astrology products — using the full suite of styling parameters to produce on-brand chart images that reflect extended astrological accuracy
  • Multi-regional platforms — serving users who prefer North, South, or East Indian chart styles while ensuring the underlying extended calculations are consistent
  • Professional astrologer tools — providing practitioners with a visually polished chart image grounded in extended Lal Kitab data, suitable for client consultations and printed reports
