Kundli Calculator (Vedic Birth Chart)
Free Kundli (Janam Kundali) from birth date, time and place: Lagna, Rashi and Nakshatra, sidereal positions of the nine grahas, South Indian chart and Vimshottari dasha.
Sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa; whole-sign houses counted from the Lagna; Rahu and Ketu are the mean lunar nodes. Dasha years are 365.25 days.
Accuracy: Sun and Moon within about half an arcminute; Mercury, Venus and Mars within a few arcminutes; Jupiter and Saturn within about a quarter of a degree.
Saturn (Shani) (Makara (Capricorn) 0°13′) is closer to a rashi boundary than this method's possible error, so other software may place it in the neighbouring rashi.

A Kundli (Janam Kundali) is the birth chart of Vedic astrology (Jyotish). It uses the sidereal zodiac — tied to the fixed stars rather than the seasons — so every planet sits about 24° earlier than in a Western chart. This calculator finds your Lagna (ascendant), Moon sign (rashi) and birth nakshatra, the positions of the nine grahas with their nakshatra and house, a South Indian style chart and your Vimshottari dasha periods, all in your browser.
How to use this tool
- Enter the birth date and local clock time.
- Choose the birth city, or enter latitude, longitude and time zone.
- Optionally choose the date for which the running dasha should be shown (today by default).
- Read the summary, then the graha table, the chart grid and the dasha tables.
Formula
Sidereal longitude = tropical longitude − ayanamsa; Nakshatra = ⌊λ ÷ 13°20′⌋ + 1
The Lahiri ayanamsa is 23°15′00.66″ (true) on 21 March 1956, carried forward with the IAU precession rate (about 50.3″ a year). Each nakshatra spans 13°20′ and has four padas of 3°20′. The Vimshottari cycle lasts 120 years; the first dasha belongs to the lord of the Moon's nakshatra, and the unused part equals the share of that nakshatra the Moon has still to cross.
Example
For 12 April 1992, 00:00 UTC, the Moon's tropical longitude is 133.18° and the Lahiri ayanamsa 23.75°, giving a sidereal 109.42°: Karka rashi, Ashlesha nakshatra, pada 1. Ashlesha is ruled by Mercury, and the Moon still had 10.58° of the 13.33° nakshatra to cross, so the birth Mercury dasha had 17 × 0.793 ≈ 13.5 years left.
Frequently asked questions
Why is my Vedic sign different from my Western sign?
Western astrology starts Aries at the March equinox; Vedic astrology starts Mesha at a fixed star point. The two have drifted about 24° apart through the precession of the equinoxes, so many people's Sun and Moon move back one sign.
Which ayanamsa does this use?
Lahiri (Chitrapaksha), the standard adopted by the Indian Calendar Reform Committee and used by most Indian software. Other ayanamsas (Raman, KP) differ by up to about 1.5°.
Can this match two horoscopes?
No. Guna Milan point tables differ between traditions, so this page shows the birth chart only. Astrological matching is not a sound basis for a marriage decision in any case.
Sources
Astrology is presented for cultural interest and entertainment only. The positions are real astronomy, but their astrological meanings and dasha periods have no scientific basis; do not use them for health, financial, legal, marriage or other important decisions.
