Question 1

Is my birth data stored anywhere?

Accepted Answer

Your data never leaves your device. Your birth details are sent to our server only to compute your chart and are never stored. No account is needed, no personal data is retained.

Question 2

Which ayanamsa and ephemeris does NAKSHATRA use?

Accepted Answer

NAKSHATRA uses the Swiss Ephemeris — the gold standard for astronomical precision — with Lahiri Ayanamsa (Chitrapaksha), the officially recommended system by the Government of India and the most widely used in traditional Vedic Jyotish.

Question 3

How accurate does my birth time need to be?

Accepted Answer

The more precise, the better — the Ascendant (Lagna) changes every ~2 hours. Within 5–10 minutes gives an accurate rising sign and house cusps. For Dasha calculations even an approximate time works well. If unknown, enter 12:00 noon and check your birth certificate for precision.

Question 4

Does NAKSHATRA work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Once the page loads, all core chart calculations work without internet — the ephemeris runs entirely in your browser. Only place-name autocomplete needs connectivity. Your saved profile remains accessible offline.

Question 5

Can I save and compare multiple charts?

Accepted Answer

Yes — store multiple birth profiles locally on your device. The Kundali Matching tool compares two charts using Ashtakoot and Dashakoot methods. Switch between profiles any time from the profile card. No account or login needed.

Question 6

What is a Nakshatra and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

The 27 Nakshatras are the lunar mansions of Vedic astrology — star-clusters the Moon transits roughly every 27.3 days. Your Janma Nakshatra (Moon's Nakshatra at birth) is considered more personally significant than the Sun sign in Jyotish, governing temperament, instinct, and karmic patterns.
