The ingress charts a Vedic year is judged from. The world ascendant chart cast at the solar ingress, the Ardra pravesh chart read for the monsoon, and the summer and autumn crop charts. Each carries the exact moment it is cast for and a complete set of planetary positions at that instant — these are the charts annual almanac predictions are actually read out of. A large response: four full charts plus an ingress time.

Content-Type: application/jsonRequest fields
| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| date_time | string (date-time) | required | The moment to calculate for, ISO 8601. ALWAYS include an offset or a trailing Z - a value with no zone is read as Asia/Kolkata (UTC+05:30), not UTC, and can return the previous day's result with a 200. '2026-09-01T06:00:00Z' and '2026-09-01 06:00:00' are different instants and give different answers. |
| latitude | number (double) | required | Latitude of the place, in decimal degrees. Positive is north, negative is south. Example: 26.9124 for Jaipur, 40.7128 for New York. Minutes and seconds are not accepted - convert first. min -90 · max 90 |
| longitude | number (double) | required | Longitude of the place, in decimal degrees. Positive is east, negative is west. Example: 75.7873 for Jaipur, -74.0060 for New York. Note the sign: a missing minus puts New York in China. min -180 · max 180 |
| timezone_as_float | number (double) | required | UTC offset of the place, in hours, as a decimal. Example: 5.5 for India (UTC+05:30), -5 for New York in winter, 5.75 for Nepal. This is NOT validated against date_time - if the two disagree you get a successful response for the wrong moment, so derive both from the same source. Use the offset in force on that date, not today's: a summer birth in a country with daylight saving needs the summer offset. min -12 · max 14 |
| year | integer | required | Year of birth as a number, e.g. 1990. Four digits. |
| keys | array | optional | Which calculations to return, as a list of names. See the key table for this endpoint; an unrecognised name rejects the whole request. One call costs one credit however many keys you ask for, so request everything you need at once rather than making several calls. |
| nakshatra | string | optional | Only read by /nakshatra-chakras/; ignored elsewhere. |
