What is a baby kundli?

A baby kundli (also called Janma Patrika or newborn birth chart) is a Vedic astrological chart created using the baby's exact date, time, and place of birth. It maps the positions of the Moon, Sun, and planets at the moment of birth to determine the child's Rashi (zodiac sign), Nakshatra (birth star), and planetary periods (Dasha).

When should I make my baby's kundli?

Traditionally, a baby's kundli is prepared soon after birth — ideally before the Namkaran (naming ceremony), which typically happens on the 11th or 12th day. The kundli helps determine auspicious naming letters based on the baby's Nakshatra and Rashi.

What information do I need to create a baby kundli?

You need three details: the baby's exact date of birth, time of birth (as precise as possible), and place of birth. The time of birth is crucial for accurate Moon sign and Ascendant (Lagna) calculation.

Is the baby kundli on Daanyam free?

Yes, the basic baby kundli — including Rashi, Nakshatra, naming letters, and a free preview — is completely free. The full Baby Patrika PDF with temperament, parenting guidance, and first-21-year Dasha themes is available for ₹199 ($5 internationally).

What if I don't know the exact birth time?

Use the closest time you have — hospital discharge papers or the birth certificate usually record it. The Rashi (Moon sign) is stable across several hours, so it rarely changes, but the nakshatra pada that gives the naming letter can shift. If the computed pada is borderline, check the neighbouring pada's letters too before finalising the name, or confirm with a Jyotishi.

Can a baby have more than one naming letter?

Yes. Each nakshatra pada has a primary syllable, but tradition accepts the full set of that nakshatra's letters when the primary syllable makes naming difficult in the family's language. Many families also keep a formal nakshatra-based name for ceremonies and an everyday calling name — both practices are traditional and valid.

Which languages is the Baby Patrika available in?

The Baby Patrika PDF is available in English and Hindi, with Devanagari rendered natively. The free preview and naming letters work for names in any Indian language, since the aksharas map to sounds rather than a single script.

How is a baby kundli different from a regular kundli?

A baby kundli focuses on newborn-specific insights: naming letters (aksharas) for the Namkaran ceremony, early childhood temperament, health tendencies, Gandmool Dosha checks traditionally done before naming, and parenting guidance based on the Moon sign. A regular kundli covers career, marriage, and life-phase predictions relevant to adults.
