Frequently Asked Questions

What is Janma Nakshatra?

Janma Nakshatra is the lunar mansion (birth star) in which the Moon was placed at your time of birth. There are 27 nakshatras in Vedic astrology, each spanning 13 degrees 20 minutes of the zodiac.

What is Nakshatra Pada?

Each nakshatra is divided into 4 padas (quarters), each spanning 3 degrees 20 minutes. The pada determines the naming syllable (first letter of the name) used in the Namakaranam ceremony.

What if I don't know my birth time?

Without birth time, the calculator defaults to noon IST. Results may differ by ±1 nakshatra for births near midnight. For accurate results, provide the exact birth time from your birth certificate.
