What is Parashari Kundli?
A Parashari Kundli is a birth chart (Janma Kundli) created using the Parashari system of astrology, also known as the Parashari Jyotish Shastra. This system comes from the ancient Indian scripture Bṛhat Parāśara Horāśāstra (BPHS), written by Maharishi Parashara.
This kundli shows the planetary positions at the exact time of birth, used for astrological predictions.
