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
• true-citra: True Chitra Paksha

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). Tropical Vedic is not available: Vedic endpoints compute sidereally and ignore zodiacType in the request body. Details in the FAQ.

Pricing

Vedic endpoints sit across three tiers: 10 credits (Lal Kitab, KP, most Jaimini), 20 (vargas, panchang elements) and 50 (Parashara doshas, dashas, shadbala, muhurat, full compatibility). PDF reports are 5000.
