What is a Kundali (birth chart)?

A Kundali (also called Janam Kundli or birth chart) is a map of the sky at the exact moment and location of your birth, showing the positions of the Sun, Moon, and planets across the 12 houses and zodiac signs. It forms the foundation of Vedic astrology predictions including Dashas, Yogas, and life event timing. Dekho Panchang generates your complete Kundali for free.

What is the difference between North Indian and South Indian chart styles?

The North Indian chart uses a diamond-shaped layout where the houses remain fixed and signs rotate based on the Ascendant. The South Indian chart uses a rectangular grid where the signs remain fixed and houses rotate. Both contain identical astronomical data – the choice is regional preference. Dekho Panchang supports both styles with a toggle switch.

Why does exact birth time matter for Kundali?

The Ascendant (Lagna) changes approximately every 2 hours, and the Moon changes Nakshatra roughly every day. Even a few minutes' difference can shift the Lagna, alter house placements, and change the Vimshottari Dasha sequence entirely. Accurate birth time is essential for reliable predictions – our tool allows time input down to the minute for precision.
