Lal Kitab Varshphal Dasha
Endpoint
POST https://starsapi.com/api/v3/vedic/lal-kitab/varshphal-dasha
Returns the Lal Kitab 35-year dasha in a Varshphal context — anchored to the requested year of life. Both dasha systems are returned with the same ring and the same fixed 9×3 antardasha table (Arun Sanhita 1952 p.10); each mahadasha divides into three equal antardashas with birth-anchored start_date/end_date.
dasha_saturn_start— fixed-age (always Saturn at age 1).dasha_hora_based— first mahadasha set by the birth-hora planet, computed from actual local sunrise/sunset (seebirth_hora_planet).
With no year parameter the current running year is used. Send year_of_life or varshphal_year (not both) for any other year; the dasha running-age is aligned to the Varshphal year.
