Vedic astrology for Indians abroad
Nakshara gives Indians abroad a free birth chart for any birth city, plus kundli matching and other reports for weddings, a new home and visa timing. Enter the date, time and city exactly as they were at birth. Report prices are fixed and shown up front, and the website needs no account.
Birth details for a chart abroad
How do I enter a birth outside India?
Enter the date and local clock time recorded at birth, then select the birth city. For a London birth, choose London even if you now live in Delhi. Nakshara uses the selected city and date to resolve the historical time zone and daylight saving. Do not convert the time to IST or subtract an hour yourself.
What if my birth time is uncertain or the clocks changed that day?
An uncertain birth time can change the ascendant and house placements. When clocks go back, a local time can occur twice; when clocks go forward, some local times never occur. Check the original birth record before treating a chart as final. The summer-time checker compares calculations with and without daylight saving; it cannot recover a missing birth time.
Can I get my kundli if I was born outside India?
Yes. Enter your birth date, time and city exactly as they were at birth, in local time, for any city in the world. The chart follows the clock rules in force in that city on that date, including summer time. You do not need to convert the time to IST first.
Any birth city, any country
Search for your birth city in any country. The chart follows the clock rules in force in that city on your birth date, including summer time.
Reports by email, tools in the browser
Paid reports arrive as a PDF by email, usually within minutes. Every free tool works straight in the browser.

For NRIs & the diaspora
Which reports are built for NRIs?
Nakshara has six reports for Indians abroad: NRI kundli matching, a visa and green-card timing report, a namkaran report for foreign-born babies, a griha pravesh muhurat, a second-generation identity report and an NRI marriage bundle. Each card shows that report’s one fixed price.
Each report is calculated from your birth details using the Lahiri ayanamsa. It describes timing and tendencies, not a guaranteed outcome.

How does kundli matching work for couples abroad?
Enter each partner’s birth details and own birth city. The 36-guna score depends only on the two birth charts, not on where you live now. The NRI report adds wedding muhurat picks for both time zones and dasha overlap. The NRI wedding guide covers the planning side.

FAQ
Questions from the diaspora
How do I enter a birth outside India? +
Enter the date and local clock time recorded at birth, then select the birth city. For a London birth, choose London even if you now live in Delhi. Nakshara uses the selected city and date to resolve the historical time zone and daylight saving. Do not convert the time to IST or subtract an hour yourself.
What if my birth time is uncertain or the clocks changed that day? +
An uncertain birth time can change the ascendant and house placements. When clocks go back, a local time can occur twice; when clocks go forward, some local times never occur. Check the original birth record before treating a chart as final. The summer-time checker compares calculations with and without daylight saving; it cannot recover a missing birth time.
Do I need to convert my birth time to IST before using these tools? +
No. Enter the date, time and city exactly as they were at birth, in local time. The clock rules in force in that city on that date, including summer time, are applied for you.
Does being born outside India change my kundli? +
No. The chart is made from the date, time and city of birth, wherever that city is, and follows the Lahiri ayanamsa. A birth in Houston is handled the same way as a birth in Delhi.
Can I match kundlis when the groom and bride live in different countries? +
Yes. Kundli matching takes each person's own birth city, so a match between, say, Delhi and Dallas works the same way as a match between two Indian cities.
Do I need a WhatsApp number in India to get my report? +
No. Reports are delivered by email, and any WhatsApp number in E.164 format (with your country code) works for the ones sent there too.
How much do the NRI reports cost? +
Each report has one fixed price, shown on its card. NRI kundli matching is $31 and the wedding date shortlist is $24. There is no subscription.
