What this tool calculates
This generator uses a compact Moon/planetary-position calculation, a standard Ascendant formula, and the Lahiri ayanamsa, the same underlying Vedic astrology methodology used across South Indian Jathagam preparation, to place each planet into its correct house based on your exact birth date, time, and location.
Why South Indian style is the default here
South Indian chart style is the traditional convention for a Tamil Jathagam, using a fixed-house layout where each of the 12 houses occupies a permanent position on the chart grid, with the Ascendant marked rather than rotated into a fixed position (as North Indian style does instead). This tool defaults to South Indian style to match Tamil tradition, while still offering North Indian and East Indian styles if you need to compare against a chart prepared in a different regional convention.
