Frequently asked questions

Date of birth, time of birth as accurately as you know it, and place of birth. For a compatibility reading, the same three for both people. That is all — nothing else is required.

You have two options. Birth-time rectification narrows the likely time from known life events, though it is approximate and takes longer. Or use Prasna Jyotish, which answers one specific question from the moment it is asked and needs no birth details at all. We will tell you which suits your question.

Yes, for a full chart reading. The lagna changes roughly every two hours and it sets the entire house structure of the chart. A birth certificate or hospital record is the most reliable source. If your time is uncertain, say so — we will tell you which conclusions hold and which do not.

Yes. Consultations are held over call or video for clients anywhere in India and abroad, and the chart preparation is identical. The only service that genuinely needs you in the room is palmistry.

English, Telugu, Hindi, Kannada and Marathi, depending on the centre. Bengaluru covers Kannada and Telugu, Hyderabad covers Telugu, Mumbai covers Marathi — all three also consult in Hindi and English. Say which you prefer when you call.

Yes, and for alliance discussions it is common. Mention the number of people when you call so the appointment can be planned for it.

Conventionally 18 out of 36, with 25 and above considered strong. In practice the number alone decides very little — the full charts, the dasha positions and any dosha placements matter considerably more. We give you the score and then explain what sits behind it.

Probably less than you have been told. Mangal Dosha is one of the most over-stated findings in Indian astrology — classical texts list numerous cancellation conditions, and a large share of charts flagged manglik by software carry at least one. Bring the chart and we will tell you what is actually there. If someone has quoted you a large sum to remove it, get a second reading before paying anything.

We explain which specific factors are weak and why. Often the concern is narrower than families expect and can be discussed openly between both sides. Where a genuine difficulty exists we say so plainly. We do not recommend expensive rituals as a condition for proceeding.

Treat that as a warning sign about them. Remedies exist within the tradition and are sometimes appropriate — but they are suggested after a reading, with the reasoning explained, and never as the only thing standing between you and misfortune. Fear is the most common sales technique in this field.

No. A chart shows tendencies and timing indications; it does not determine what happens. Nobody can guarantee a marriage, a job, a reconciliation or a business outcome, and anyone who tells you otherwise is not being honest.

No. We are direct about this because a great deal of money changes hands on the promise that it can. No reading, ritual or remedy makes another adult return or feel differently. What a reading can do is help you understand the period you are in and make your own next decision more clearly.

No, and we do not refer anyone for it. Practices marketed as controlling another person’s will, or as removing curses, sit outside what we do and outside what we consider honest astrological practice.

No. Where a stone or item is genuinely indicated you are told what it is, and you buy it wherever you choose. Not being in that business is the simplest way to keep a recommendation honest.

Yes. Nothing discussed leaves the room, including from whoever referred you or arranged your appointment. Many people come having told no one, and that is respected.
