In Hyderabad's Telugu Hindu tradition, a birth chart is called a "Jaatakam" and is typically prepared through a family purohit soon after birth. Generate the same chart free, instantly.
Telugu Brahmin families in Hyderabad have a particularly well-documented classical Jyotish tradition, and preparing a child's Jaatakam soon after birth — including the Nakshatra used for the naming ceremony — remains a widely followed practice. As with the rest of the city's astrological customs, this is specifically part of Hyderabad's Telugu Hindu community rather than a citywide practice, given Hyderabad's substantial Muslim and Deccani population with entirely different customs. For families following this tradition, the computation behind a Jaatakam and a Kundli is identical — both are the same classical Vedic chart, just referred to by different regional names.
Is a "Jaatakam" different from a Kundli?
No — it's the same classical Vedic birth chart, just the Telugu regional term for it.
Does Astrosimpl's chart use the same method a Hyderabad family purohit would use?
Yes — Lahiri Ayanamsa, whole-sign houses, and Vimshottari Dasha, the same classical framework described on our methodology page.
