She who holds the sequence. Festival dates, ritual timings and birth charts computed for where you actually live — and, for a birth recorded abroad or long ago, an honest account of how much of the chart the record can actually support. On your own device, with no server and no account.
North and east are positive, south and west negative. Look the town up on any map — we will not guess coordinates for you, because a guessed longitude is a wrong lagna.
Every record you keep stays in this page and nowhere else. There is no account and no server, so nothing is uploaded — but it also means closing the tab loses them. Export them to a file and they are yours to keep, move between devices, and load back in.
If the download did not start, copy everything in the box below and save it as a text file. Pasting it back in and pressing Load from the box restores the records.
Kramdhara, क्रमधरा — from krama, the prescribed sequence, and dhara, one who holds or upholds. She who holds the sequence.
Every rite has an order. Every festival has a moment it falls due. Holding that sequence correctly, for a family living far from where they learned it, is the whole job.
The astronomy runs in your browser. There is no server, no account and no analytics. Turn the wifi off and it still works. That also means it costs nothing to run, which is why it can stay this way.
The one thing that ever leaves your device is a Plus licence key, sent to the payment provider to check it is valid. Never a chart, never a birth date, never a name.
Every number was checked against a second, independent engine built on NASA’s JPL ephemeris. Across 600 planetary placements in 60 charts spanning 1935 to 2045: 100% agreed on the nakshatra, 99.8% on the rashi, 99.5% on the pada.
Worst-case differences: Sun 0.3 arcminutes, Moon 0.8, Rahu and Ketu under 0.1, Mars and Venus under 2, Jupiter 7.4, Saturn 9.0, and the lagna 10.7. A pada spans 200 arcminutes, so these are small — but they are not zero, and a graha sitting on a boundary can fall either side.
Sunrise and sunset match the reference engine to the minute. Tithi boundaries match to within a minute.
A certificate records a clock reading, not a moment. Turning one into the other means knowing which clock, and for a birth abroad or before the 1960s there is very often more than one defensible answer: summer time that was never applied, an hour that came round twice when the clocks went back, an hour that never happened at all when they went forward, or a city that kept its own time.
Most software silently picks one and shows you a chart. This app shows you every reading the record supports, what each one would give, and what changes between them — because when the lagna moves a sign, all nine grahas change house, and that is a different chart, not a small correction.
The twelve signs do not rise evenly. At London a sign can hold the ascendant for nearly three hours or barely one; the further from the equator, the more unequal. So the same “about two o’clock” is harmless in one chart and fatal in another, and the only honest thing to do is measure it for your chart rather than assert it in general.
The same minute propagates into the Vimshottari dasha, which starts from the Moon’s place inside its nakshatra. A quarter of an hour of doubt in the birth time typically moves every date in that sequence by around two months.
Births before about 1960 carry a larger uncertainty in the lagna — up to 20 arcminutes for 1901 — because of how civil time maps to astronomical time before the leap-second era. From 1975 onward it is under half an arcminute.
Bombay Time is not applied. Bombay ran 39 minutes behind IST until about 1955 and no timezone library carries it. The date it ended has no verified source yet, so this build does not guess. Pre-1955 Bombay births are flagged, not corrected.
Guna Milan and dosha detection. The 36-guna system is not in Brihat Jataka, Brihat Samhita, Saravali or Phaladeepika — it comes from two 16th-century muhurta texts, neither of which has a public-domain English translation by an Indian scholar. Six of the eight tables are contradicted between sources: where Kumbha sits in Vashya, whether the Gana matrix is symmetric, whether remainder 1 scores in Tara.
Guessing those would produce a plausible-looking answer that is wrong, about someone’s marriage. So a Sanskrit reader will render the verses, sign them, and only then will they be coded.
Interpretation. This says where the grahas were, not what it means. That needs a translation not yet approved and a scholar not yet hired.
Manglik dosha: the three classical verses name houses 1, 4, 7, 8 and 12. The 2nd house is in none of them, and reckoning from the Moon or Venus has no classical verse either — both are later practice that most apps present as scripture.
Kaal Sarp appears to be a 20th-century construct. “Pitru dosha” is a modern label collapsing about seventy distinct curse-yogas from one chapter. Sade Sati’s transit rule is classical; its name and its seven-and-a-half-year framing are vernacular.
