About Jyotish Sarathi
Jyotish Sarathi is Vedic astrology (jyotish) software for Android, macOS and Windows, made by Sarathi Services Pvt Ltd in Kathmandu, Nepal, since 2024. It computes kundali charts, dasha, panchanga and faladesh on the device itself, in both Surya Siddhanta and Drik Siddhanta, and it is built Nepal-first: Nepali language, Vikram Sambat dates and Nepali patro are native, not add-ons.

What the software is
Jyotish Sarathi is a complete jyotish workbench rather than a horoscope reader. It generates the lagna kundali and every divisional chart from D1 to D60, the Vimshottari, Yogini and Tribhagi dasha trees, Shadbala and Ashtakavarga strength analysis, 71 yoga faladesh, Ashtakoota (36 guna) matching, KP sub-lord analysis, panchanga and Nepali patro, and a printable cheena as PDF.
It is the same engine on every platform and on every plan. The paid plans add cloud sync, multi-device use and the advanced modules; they do not add a different or "more accurate" calculation.
Who makes it
Sarathi Services Pvt Ltd is a software company based in Kathmandu, Nepal. The company has been building and maintaining Jyotish Sarathi since 2024, shipping updates across Google Play, the Microsoft Store and direct macOS downloads.
Support runs through WhatsApp, phone and email, in Nepali, Hindi and English โ see the contact page. Questions about calculations get answered by the people who wrote the calculation code.
What it is built on
Two commitments shape the product, and both are checkable rather than promotional.
Classical math, honestly implemented. Most astrology apps pick one computation path and hide it. Jyotish Sarathi implements both the classical Surya Siddhanta algorithm and modern Drik Siddhanta positions from the Swiss Ephemeris, exposes the ayanamsha as a deliberate choice among 11+ systems, and reports on every chart which settings produced it. The calculation methodology documents each step, including the known limits.
Nepal-first, then India and the world. Most Vedic astrology software is designed for India and treats Nepali as a translation. Here, Nepali is a first-class interface language, Vikram Sambat converts to and from Gregorian dates throughout the app, and the patro carries Nepali festivals, auspicious timings and Rahukaal. Charts can still be cast for any location worldwide.
Privacy stance
Birth data is sensitive. All astronomical computation runs locally on the device, so a kundali can be cast with the device offline and no account. Nothing is uploaded for a chart to be generated. Cloud sync exists for people who want their saved profiles on more than one device, and it is opt-in โ see the privacy policy.
Who it is for
- Practising astrologers who need desktop-class software, printable cheena, and calculations that hold up when a client checks them against another panchanga.
- Students of jyotish who want to see how a chart changes with the siddhanta and the ayanamsha instead of taking one number on faith.
- Nepali and Indian households who want a reliable patro, panchanga and kundali in their own language, free on one device.
