The Lal Kitab Moon Birth Chart Image API generates a server-rendered, visually customizable Lal Kitab birth chart image constructed from the Moon sign (Chandra Lagna) as the chart's primary reference point. Rather than using the Ascendant (Lagna) as the first house, this endpoint places the Moon's sign in the first house and distributes all other planets across the remaining houses accordingly — a widely used alternative chart perspective in Lal Kitab and North Indian astrological practice.
What This API Returns
Given a person's birth date, time, geographic coordinates, and visual configuration options, the API computes a Moon-sign-anchored Lal Kitab birth chart and returns a ready-to-display rendered image that includes:
- A rendered Moon birth chart image — a complete Lal Kitab Kundali diagram with the Moon sign fixed in the first house and all planets placed across the 12 houses relative to it, drawn in the caller's chosen regional chart style
- Chart style variants — support for North Indian, South Indian, and East Indian chart layouts, each reflecting their traditional visual structure
- 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

- Horoscope report generation — embedding a Moon chart image in PDF or email reports focused on Lal Kitab readings related to emotional tendencies, mental patterns, and Moon-house-based predictions
- Astrology apps and portals — displaying a ready-made Moon Kundali image directly in a user's chart page without requiring any client-side chart rendering logic
