Find Panchak Rahita API

The Find Panchak Rahita API helps you determine time intervals that are free from, or affected by, various types of Panchak (such as Mrityu, Agni, Raja, Chora, Roga), based on Indian Astrology. This is especially useful for scheduling activities where Panchak dosha is traditionally avoided, such as house-related rituals, travel, or sensitive tasks.

Response Field Details

success
Indicates if the API call was successful. 1 means success.

data.date
Date for which the Panchak calculation is done.

data.sunrise / data.sunset
Location-specific sunrise and sunset times used for the Panchang computation.

data.panchak_rahita
An ordered list of time blocks during the day, each with:

panchak: The type of Panchak (for example, Good Panchak, Mrityu Panchak, Agni Panchak, Raja Panchak, Chora Panchak, Roga Panchak).

start_time: Start datetime of that Panchak influence.

end_time: End datetime of that Panchak influence.

This lets you filter or highlight time intervals that are suitable (often those marked as “Good Panchak”) and avoid the sensitive ones (like “Mrityu Panchak” or “Agni Panchak”) in your application.

Usage Notes

Both Authorization and api_key are required; the request will fail without either.

Accurate geolocation (lat, lon) and tzone are essential because Panchak timing is time and location dependent.

You can present only the non-dosha (Good Panchak) intervals to end users if your app’s purpose is to recommend safe windows.

response = requests.request("POST", url, headers=headers, data=payload)

print(response.text)
st(url, headers=headers, data=payload)
print(response.text)

Implementation Recommendations

If your UI is meant for end users, highlight only the intervals where panchak is “Good Panchak”.

If your product is for astrologers or advanced users, display the full list, since each Panchak type has different implications.
