Everything you need to know about generating and reading your Vedic birth chart online — from understanding the Lagna and Rashi to interpreting Dasha periods and planetary positions. This guide explains what a Kundali is, how to generate one for free, and how to make sense of the results.
What is a Kundali? — कुण्डली के हो?
A Kundali (also spelled Kundli or Janam Patri) is a Vedic astrological birth chart — a map of the sky at the exact moment and place of your birth. It captures the positions of the nine Grahas (planets) across the twelve Bhavas (houses) and Rashis (zodiac signs). In Nepal, the Kundali is consulted for marriage matching, career guidance, health predictions, and choosing auspicious dates (Muhurta). It is considered the most personal document in Vedic tradition.
Key Components of a Kundali
- ✦Lagna (Ascendant) — The zodiac sign rising on the eastern horizon at the moment of your birth. It defines your 1st house and shapes your physical appearance, health, and overall personality.
- ✦Rashi (Moon Sign) — The sign where the Moon was placed at birth. This is your emotional core and the basis for your daily/monthly Rashifal predictions.
- ✦Vimshottari Dasha — A 120-year planetary period cycle unique to Vedic astrology. It reveals which planet is currently governing the major themes in your life.
- ✦Panchang at Birth — The Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga, and Vara (weekday) at the time of your birth. These fine-tune your chart interpretation.
How to Generate Your Free Kundali Online
To generate your Kundali, you need three pieces of information: your date of birth, time of birth, and place of birth. Our free Kundali calculator uses Swiss Ephemeris for accurate planetary calculations and the Lahiri Ayanamsha for authentic Vedic results. Simply enter your birth details and receive your complete chart with planet positions, Dasha periods, doshas, and remedies — all instantly and completely free.
What You Need
- ✦Date of Birth — The exact day, month, and year you were born.
- ✦Time of Birth — As precise as possible. Even a few minutes can change your Lagna and house positions. Check your birth certificate or ask family members.
- ✦Place of Birth — The city or town where you were born. This determines the local time zone and geographic coordinates needed for accurate calculations.
North Indian vs South Indian Chart Style
In Nepal, the North Indian (diamond-shaped) chart style is most commonly used. The Lagna (ascendant) always sits at the top of the chart, and houses are counted in a fixed clockwise pattern. The South Indian style uses a square grid where signs are fixed in position. Both formats contain the same information — the difference is purely visual. Our calculator uses the North Indian format, which is most familiar to Nepali users.

Why Birth Time Matters — जन्म समय किन महत्वपूर्ण छ?
The Lagna (ascendant) changes roughly every two hours, which reshuffles all 12 houses in your chart. A person born at 6:00 AM and another born at 8:30 AM on the same day in the same city can have completely different Kundalis. This is why accurate birth time is the single most important factor in Vedic chart calculation. If you are unsure of your exact birth time, a skilled Jyotishi can sometimes help with birth time rectification — using known life events to work backwards to the most likely Lagna.
