How is Dekho Panchang different from AstroSage?

AstroSage is a content-first platform with thousands of articles and predictions. Dekho Panchang is computation-first: every value is computed live from Swiss Ephemeris planetary positions with documented, open methodology. Dekho Panchang also offers AI-powered interpretation, a 36-rule muhurta engine, and 150+ yoga detection – features AstroSage does not have.

Do I need to create an account on Dekho Panchang like AstroSage?

No. All core features – kundali generation, panchang, matching, muhurta – work without any registration. Only AI-powered features (chart chat, muhurta AI) require a free account for usage tracking.

Is Dekho Panchang ad-free?

Yes. Dekho Panchang has zero advertisements in all core features. AstroSage relies heavily on ad revenue, which affects page speed and user experience. Dekho Panchang is built on Next.js 16 with edge caching for fast load times.

Does AstroSage have better predictions than Dekho Panchang?

AstroSage uses template-based predictions (generic text per planet/sign). Dekho Panchang uses AI-powered interpretation that analyses YOUR specific chart – considering planet positions, dasha periods, yogas, and aspects together. The result is personalised narrative commentary rather than generic one-size-fits-all text.
