Vedic astrology, decoded for you

Yes. The calculators — birth chart, nakshatra, moon sign, mangal dosha, kundli matching and the daily panchang — are free with no account, no sign-up and no limit on how many charts you generate. The paid reports, the Monthly Outlook and unlimited chart-reader questions are clearly priced and entirely optional. Nothing that is free today will be put behind a paywall later.

From optional paid products, all listed with their prices on the Reports page: the Match Report (₹99), the Full Life Report (₹499) and the Brihat report (₹999), each a single payment; the Monthly Outlook (₹199 a month or ₹1,499 a year), which includes unlimited questions to the chart reader; and question packs for the chart reader (from ₹49) for people who don't want a subscription. That is the whole of it. We will not run fear-based upsells, we will not sell gemstones or remedial poojas, and we will never sell or share your data.

No. Charts are computed in your browser, and your birth date, time and place are never sent to our servers or written to a database. The only thing that leaves your browser is the city name you type into the place search, which goes to a geocoding service to convert into coordinates — and, only if you choose to use the chart reader, your chart's positions and periods (never the birth details themselves) so it can answer. If you are signed in and choose “Save this chart to my account”, that chart's birth details are stored encrypted in your account until you delete them. If you subscribe to the weekly email we store your email address and nothing more.

Because this site uses the sidereal zodiac of Indian tradition, measured against the actual stars, rather than the tropical zodiac used in Western horoscopes. The two systems have drifted roughly twenty-four degrees apart over the last two thousand years, so most people find their Vedic sign is one place earlier. Vedic astrology also reads primarily from the Moon rather than the Sun, which is a second and separate difference.

No. Bhagya Bidata is built by Ranjan Barman, who is not a trained astrologer and says so openly on the about page. What the site does well is the arithmetic: accurate sidereal positions computed with a professional-grade ephemeris, presented in the classical framework, with the interpretations written to describe tendencies rather than predict events. If you want a personal consultation, see a practising astrologer — this is a set of tools, not a replacement for one.

Planetary positions agree with NASA JPL reference ephemerides to about an arcminute across the supported range of 1900 to 2100, and our ayanamsa values match published Lahiri tables to within a fraction of an arcminute. In practice, the accuracy of any chart is limited by how accurately the birth time was recorded, not by the astronomy.
