All thirty-eight sahams — the Vedic Arabic Parts — each with the English name it is usually known by. A saham is a calculated point rather than a body: a sensitive degree derived by arithmetic on two planets and an angle. They cover fortune, marriage, career, wealth, children, disease, travel and more, and until now every one of them was reachable only by knowing its Sanskrit key name. IMPORTANT: every saham here uses the day-chart formula. The underlying engine does not apply the day/night reversal, so lots that classically reverse for a night birth are not reversed, and the `night_time_birth` field is accepted but has no effect. For the Part of Fortune specifically, /api/astro/part-of-fortune/ computes it correctly for both sects.

Request 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 -89.9 · max 89.9
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
chart	string	optional
compensation	boolean	optional
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.
night_time_birth	boolean	optional	Several lots reverse their formula for a night birth.
notation	string	optional
