Question 1

Is it kundli or kundali?

Accepted Answer

Both are correct. Kundli and kundali are two romanisations of the same Sanskrit word, कुण्डली. Hindi speakers usually drop the short vowel after the "d" and write kundli; Marathi, Gujarati, Nepali and more Sanskrit-faithful spellings keep it and write kundali. They refer to exactly the same thing: your Vedic birth chart.

Question 2

What is a Janam Kundali?

Accepted Answer

A Janam Kundali (janam means birth) is your Vedic birth chart — a map of where the planets, the Moon’s nakshatra and the rising sign (Lagna) stood at the moment you were born. It is also called a janam patri or janampatri in Hindi, jathagam in Tamil and jatakam in Telugu and Malayalam.

Question 3

What do I need to generate a free kundli?

Accepted Answer

Your date of birth, time of birth and place of birth. The time matters most: the Lagna (rising sign) changes roughly every two hours, so an approximate time gives an approximate ascendant. If you don’t know the time, the Moon sign, nakshatra and dasha periods are still calculated accurately.

Question 4

Is this kundli free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The full birth chart, nakshatra, Vimshottari Dasha timeline, yogas and dosha checks are free. A free account is needed so your chart is saved and every other tool here works without entering your details again. Calculations use the Lahiri ayanamsa and a deterministic astronomical engine, not estimates.
