Free Kundli & Vedic Birth Chart
A Kundli is the map of the sky at the exact moment and place you were born. Kaala calculates yours from real astronomical data — sidereal positions using the Lahiri ayanamsa, resolved to your birth location's latitude, longitude and historical timezone — and keeps it in your account so you can follow your dasha as it advances.
Your own Kundli is free. Charts for family or friends cost a small one-time fee — the exact price is shown after you sign in.
What your Kundli includes
Lagna & planetary positions
Your Ascendant plus every graha by sign, degree, nakshatra and pada, with retrograde, combustion and dignity marked.
D1 & D9 charts
The North Indian Rashi chart alongside the Navamsha (D9), the divisional chart used to judge the strength of a placement.
Vimshottari Dasha
Your running planetary period, broken down through antardasha and pratyantardasha with exact start and end dates.
Ashtakavarga & Shadbala
Bindu tallies per house and the six-fold numeric strength of each planet, in rupas — the quantitative side of a chart reading.
Yogas present in the chart
The named planetary combinations your chart actually forms, rather than a generic list of every yoga that exists.
Panchang of your birth day
The Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana in force at the moment you were born, calculated for your birth location.
Key terms, explained
What is a Lagna?
Your Lagna, or Ascendant, is the zodiac sign that was rising on the eastern horizon at your exact birth moment. It is the reference point every house in your chart is measured from — which is why an accurate birth time matters more than almost anything else in a Kundli.
What is a Dasha?
A Dasha is a planetary period. Vimshottari Dasha, the most widely used system, divides a 120-year cycle among the nine planets, each ruling a period whose length is fixed by classical tradition — it sets the broad timing a chart works with.
What are the twelve houses?
A Kundli divides the sky into twelve houses, or bhavas, starting from the Lagna. Each house is traditionally associated with a different area of life — self, wealth, home, career and so on — and which sign and planets occupy a house shapes how that area is read.
Why birth time and place matter
The Ascendant moves through all twelve signs in about 24 hours, so it changes sign roughly every two hours. A birth time that is wrong by a few minutes can move your Lagna and every house placement that follows it. Kaala asks for the birth place for the same reason — it resolves the correct timezone offset for that date and computes house cusps from your latitude, rather than assuming a single national offset.

Kundli FAQs
A Kundli (also called a janam kundli or Vedic birth chart) is a map of the sky at the exact moment and place you were born. It records the sign and degree of each planet, the rising sign (Lagna or Ascendant), and the twelve houses — the foundation every other Vedic astrology reading is built on.
Your own Kundli is free — one per account, with no payment required. Creating an additional Kundli for a family member or friend costs a one-time ₹9, inclusive of taxes. There are no subscriptions and no recurring charges.
The Ascendant moves through all twelve signs in roughly 24 hours, so it changes sign about every two hours. A birth time that is off by even a few minutes can shift your Lagna and every house placement that follows. The birth place is needed to resolve the correct historical timezone offset for that date and to calculate house cusps from your latitude.
Kaala uses sidereal (Nirayana) positions with the Lahiri ayanamsa, the standard used by the Indian government's calendar reform committee and by most Indian panchangs. Positions are computed with the Drik Ganita method from real astronomical data, not from pre-computed almanac tables.
Every Kundli includes the Lagna and planetary positions with nakshatra and pada, the North Indian D1 chart and the D9 Navamsha, Bhava Chalit cusps, your running Vimshottari Dasha down to pratyantardasha, Ashtakavarga, Shadbala strength scores, the yogas present in the chart, and the Panchang of your birth day.
Yes. A Kundli is saved to your account so you can return to it, view your dasha as it advances, and keep charts for family members in one place. You can sign in with email or Google.
Check your birth certificate or hospital record first — in India the time is usually recorded on the municipal certificate even when the family does not remember it. If you genuinely cannot find it, use the closest time you are confident about and treat the Lagna, the house placements and the Bhava Chalit chart as provisional. Your Moon sign, nakshatra, and the Vimshottari Dasha built on it are far more forgiving: the Moon moves about one degree every two hours, so they usually survive an error of an hour or two. A rough time gives you a usable chart; it does not give you a reliable Ascendant.
Search for the nearest town or city rather than a village, hospital or locality name — the place lookup indexes populated places, and a hospital name will rarely match. A neighbouring town a few kilometres away resolves to the same timezone and shifts the house cusps by a negligible amount, so it is a safe substitute. What matters is that you pick a suggestion from the list: only a selected place carries the coordinates the chart is calculated from.
A Kundli cannot be edited, because every value in it — the Lagna, the dasha timeline, the yogas — is derived from the birth date, time and place, so changing one would mean a different chart rather than an edited one. You can delete any Kundli from the list at any time and create a fresh one with the corrected details. Deleting your own free Kundli releases the free slot.
PDF download is charged separately as a one-time fee of ₹51 (or $7 outside India) per Kundli. It generates a print-ready, high-resolution 6-page document with your Lagna chart, Navamsha, planetary positions, Vimshottari dasha timeline, and Ashtakavarga and Shadbala tables.
Yes. Creating your first self Kundli on screen is free, while generating the downloadable, print-quality PDF costs ₹51 ($7). Once unlocked, you can download that Kundli's PDF anytime without paying again.
Western sun-sign astrology uses the tropical zodiac, fixed to the seasons. Kaala uses the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri ayanamsa, currently about 24° behind the tropical zodiac — so your Vedic Sun sign can be a full sign earlier than the one a Western horoscope gives you. Neither is "wrong"; they are two different reference frames for the same sky. Your Kundli's Sun Sign card and Reading tab show your sidereal sign; Kaala does not compute or display a tropical one.
