Sit with your janma mantra. Keep a kundli-grounded rhythm. Lagna is classical Jyotish practice for Lifestyle and Health & Fitness: authored japa sit, chart-grounded reflection, and a 7-day rhythm — plus a full sidereal birth chart (kundli) computed on your iPhone. Not a daily horoscope dump, not fortune-telling, and not medical, financial, or legal advice. Lagna computes a sidereal kundli using Lahiri ayanamsa and whole-sign houses from your birth date, time, and place: graha placements, nakshatra, Vimshottari dasha tree, yogas, dignities, and divisional charts (D1/D2/D9/D10). Chart math is deterministic on device — placements are never invented by AI. Optional Apple Intelligence explains your chart when available, grounded in computed facts, with a deterministic knowledge fallback when it isn't. Japa is traditional recitation for sincerity — not a remedy that changes the chart. Start on Practice for sit and reflection. Your kundli lives on Chart. Insights and Ask stay grounded in that chart. PRACTICE • Today’s japa — authored janma-nakshatra mantra (Free); current Maha dasha lord mantra (Premium). Traditional recitation, not a remedy. • Sit, then reflection, then a 7-day practice rhythm strip (Mon–Sun dots) — sit or reflection fills the same day • Practice streaks keyed to You — daily reflection (Free); weekly review, dasha-window, Moon-cycle, and transit awareness in Practice overview (Premium) • Optional reflection reminders — gentle cadence in Settings → Practice • Apple Watch Practice page — the same weekly rhythm at a glance CHART & ENGINE • D1 natal kundli in North or South Indian style — graha, rāśi, nakshatra, house lords • Divisional lenses D2, D9 (Navamsa), D10 — canvas views with natal D1 placement summary • Vimshottari timing — maha, antar, pratyantar dasha tree with full timeline • Chart MeaningSnapshot — calm natal synthesis; Free facts / Premium meaning • Evidence screen — detections, resolver matches, and provenance you can audit ASK & INSIGHTS • Ask — questions grounded in your computed chart, sky, or match context — Free quota included; Premium unlimited • Insights + life themes composed from chart facts and Evidence • Learn library — searchable Jyotish concepts with Ask hand-off MATCH • Ashtakoota compatibility — full 8 kootas with explanations (Free preview / Premium breakdown). Open from Library or More when you want it — not a main tab. TIMING & CURRENT SKY • Personal Current Sky — transits × dasha × house convergence with care-framed emphasis • Cycles & eclipses — tithi, yoga, karaṇa, New/Full, Sun ingress, geocentric eclipse candidates • Annual timing — rolling ~12-month skim (Free dated facts; Premium care-framed pacing). Not Varshaphal. • Risk/attention grades are technical signal strength for carefulness — not predictions of harm PRIVATE BY DESIGN Chart math stays on your iPhone. AI never invents graha, rāśi, nakshatra, dasha lords, or mantras that aren't in your chart. Local-first by default; Premium can sync saved chart profiles privately via iCloud when you opt in. You-only widgets and Apple Watch companion follow your personal chart. Premium Chart PDF export; Free privacy-safe plain-text summary and single-card share.

Aja — a name inspired by Rudra, the timeless and powerful form of Shiva. Shiva is also associated with Kāla, the cosmic principle of time, and Laya, the force of dissolution and transformation. Aja Panchang is a location-accurate Vedic panchangam for daily religious and cultural use. It is built for people who want panchang details that match their family tradition, city, and calculation method — with a live view of what is active right now. Daily panchang for your city View tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga, karana, sunrise and sunset, Rahu Kalam, Yamagandam, Gulika, muhurta windows, festivals, and vratas — all computed for your selected location. Choose how your panchang is calculated Many calendars use one fixed method. Aja Panchang lets you adjust settings that change the result: • Panchangam basis: (Swiss Ephemeris + Lahiri), Vakya (Tamil classical), or Surya Siddhanta • Calendar tradition: Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, or North Indian • Maasa: Amanta or Purnimanta • Festival sect: Smarta, Vaishnava, or Shaiva • Day boundary: local sunrise, Indian reference sunrise, or local midnight The same date and city can be shown the way your family or regional panchang expects. Live panchangam The Live screen updates in real time: current tithi and nakshatra, hora, choghadiya (where your tradition uses it), Rahu/Yamagandam/Gulika, and a countdown to the next change. See what is happening on your clock today, not only a static daily page. Festivals with context Festivals are computed from a rule engine covering Hindu, Jain, and Sikh/Nanakshahi calendars. See why a festival falls on a given date, dual-date cases, four-prahar windows, Shradh periods, vratas, regional festivals, and Pushkaralu (Godavari and Krishna river cycles). Compare cities when you travel View the same civil date across different cities. Sunrise-based timings and festival boundaries can shift with location — useful when moving between regions. More in the app • Hora chakram and choghadiya • Tarabalam and chandrabalam • Birth-moment and janma tithi • Lunar year and moon phase • Astronomy: planets, lagna, eclipses • Live graha and rashi board • Smart alerts for today’s windows and upcoming festivals Languages The app is available in English, Hindi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Bengali, and Gujarati, including Jyotish terms in native script where applicable. Built on our own engine Astronomy uses Swiss Ephemeris. Muhurta windows such as Abhijit, Brahma, Godhuli, Amrita, Varjyam, and Durmuhurta use defined traditional rules. Developed by Aja Consulting Services LLP, Hyderabad. Aja Panchang is intended as traditional religious calendar information. Muhurta and festival timings are based on classical calculation methods and may differ from local print almanacs depending on your chosen settings
