Ayanamsa Calculatorअयनांश — लाहिरी, रमन, केपी

The ayanamsa is the distance between the Western (tropical) zodiac, which begins at the spring equinox, and the Vedic (sidereal) zodiac, which is fixed to the stars. It grows by about 50″ a year as the equinox slides back. Pick a date to see the six ayanamsas our kundli offers.

How it is computedगणना कैसे होती है

  • 1

    Each ayanamsa is defined by its value at a reference date; the Swiss Ephemeris carries it to any date with the modern precession model.

  • 2

    The values are measured from the true equinox of date, which includes the nutation, as JHora and astro.com give them.

  • 3

    A sidereal longitude is the tropical longitude less the ayanamsa: with Lahiri at 24°, a planet at 10° tropical Taurus is at 16° sidereal Aries.

  • 4

    Lahiri is the official ayanamsa of the Indian national calendar and the default of this site's kundli.

Which ayanamsa to useकौन सा अयनांश लें

  • Lahiri for Parashari astrology and the panchang: it is what most Indian almanacs and software use.
  • KP (Krishnamurti) for KP astrology, with Placidus cusps.
  • Raman if you follow B.V. Raman's books and their example charts.
  • Whichever you choose, use the same one for every chart you compare.
