The "wheel of time" dasha, seeded from the birth pada. Unusual among the rashi dashas in starting from the Moon's nakshatra PADA rather than from a house, which makes it more sensitive to birth-time accuracy than the others.

Request fields

Field	Type	Required	Notes
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
dasha_direction	string	optional	`forwardbackward`
dasha_start	string	optional	Which cycle the timeline opens on. `currentnextprevious`
date_time	string (date-time)	optional	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.
datetime	string (date-time)	optional	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. Same meaning as date_time, which other endpoints call the same thing by a different name.
days_in_year	number (double)	optional	Year length the periods are measured in. 360 for the classical savana year, 365.25 for the Julian year. min 360 · max 365.256364
levels	integer	optional	How deep to nest: 1 mahadasha only, 2 adds antardasha, 3 adds pratyantardasha. Capped at 4 because the response grows roughly tenfold per level. min 1 · max 4
node	string	optional	Lunar node model. Required by the rashi parent, which does not default it; defaulted here. `truemean`
timezone_as_float	number (double)	optional	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
