Accuracy and sources

Every endpoint carries a quality status (GREEN/YELLOW) in docs/AUDIT-TRAIL.md plus an inline AUDIT header above its route. Canonical sources:

• BPHS (Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra) — Santhanam translation
• Jaimini Sutras
• Lal Kitab — Pt. Roop Chand Joshi
• KP (Krishnamurti Paddhati) — original reader letters
• Muhurta Chintamani (16th c.) — for electional calculations
• PyJHora — Python reference for numerical cross-checks

Divergences from PyJHora (where present) are documented in AUDIT-TRAIL — integrators see the exact delta.

Ayanamsa

Default is Lahiri (Chitra-Paksha, official Indian government). Pass ayanamsa to switch:

• lahiri (default) — Chitra-Paksha
• raman — B.V. Raman tradition
• krishnamurti — KP
• yukteshwar — Sri Yukteshwar
• fagan-bradley — Fagan/Bradley
• de-luce — De Luce
• jn-bhasin — JN Bhasin

Sidereal vs tropical

Vedic endpoints return sidereal positions by default (zodiac fixed to stars, with ayanamsa applied). Western endpoints (/v1/chart, /v1/synastry, etc.) return tropical (zodiac fixed to equinox). For tropical Vedic, pass zodiac=tropical where the endpoint supports it.

Pricing

Most Vedic endpoints — Tier 2 (20 credits). Large reports (full compatibility, muhurat scanner) — Tier 3 (50 cr). PDF reports — Tier 7 (5000 cr).
