Basic Rudraksha Suggestions API

Basic Rudraksha Suggestions

Returns a concise, astrology-based list of Rudraksha bead recommendations personalized to an individual's birth chart. This endpoint analyzes the provided birth data using Vedic astrological principles and identifies the Rudraksha mukhis (faces) most aligned with the individual's planetary configuration, making it suitable for quick lookups and lightweight integrations.

What This API Does

This endpoint accepts a date, time, and geographic coordinates of birth, computes the individual's planetary positions using the specified Ayanamsha system, and maps those positions to their corresponding Rudraksha beads in the Vedic tradition. Rudraksha beads are sacred seeds from the Elaeocarpus ganitrus tree, each variety distinguished by the number of natural clefts or faces (mukhis) on its surface. In Vedic astrology, each mukhi is associated with a specific planet or deity and is used as a wearable remedy to strengthen or balance planetary influences. The response provides a focused summary of which Rudraksha mukhis are recommended and their primary purpose, without the extended detail of a full remedial report.

Data Returned

The response includes, for each recommended Rudraksha:

• Rudraksha identity — mukhi count (number of faces) and the planet or deity it is associated with

• Associated planet and house — the planetary ruler and its position in the individual's birth chart that drives the recommendation

• Remedial purpose — a brief description of the benefit or planetary correction the Rudraksha is intended to provide

• Recommendation strength — an indication of how strongly the Rudraksha is indicated based on the chart analysis
