Your Kendaraya
Planetary positions, Lagna, Nakatha, and dignities, calculated from your exact birth details and rendered in Sinhala.
Learn moreKendaraya calculates it all — your Nakatha, your Lagna, your planetary positions — and delivers personalised guidance through WhatsApp. Not the same forecast sent to everyone born under your zodiac sign. Your chart, calculated once, available whenever you need it.
"Aries today." "Leo this week." Millions of people read the same twelve lines, sorted only by which month they were born in.
Real astrological guidance needs more than a birth month. It needs your exact birth date, time, and place — the specific position of every planet at the moment you were born. From that, a chart can show your Nakatha (birth star), your Lagna (rising sign), which planetary period (Dasha) is currently active in your life, and how today's sky relates to your chart specifically — not to everyone born in the same thirty-day window.
Thousands of people can share a zodiac sign.
They don't share your Kendaraya.
Kendaraya isn't trying to replace the astrologer your family has consulted for years, or reinvent Sri Lankan astrological tradition. It's using technology to make the calculation, access, and delivery of that tradition easier.
Register once with your birth details, and Kendaraya calculates everything immediately — your planetary positions, Nakatha, and Lagna. From there, you can ask about your day, your Porondam, an auspicious time for an important event, or a specific question about your career, marriage, or health — whenever you need it, through the WhatsApp you already use.

Every morning, your Kendaraya is checked against today's sky — not just today's date. It considers which planet rules the weekday, where that planet currently sits relative to your chart, which longer planetary period (Dasha) is active in your life right now, and how today's Moon relates to your birth star. The result is a forecast built around your chart specifically.

.A general forecast is a starting point — but sometimes you have a specific question. Kendaraya lets you ask about a focused area of life instead of only receiving a general daily reading, using the same chart data behind the daily forecast.
Is this a supportive period for changing jobs?”
What does my current period indicate about overseas opportunities?”
What factors are active around marriage right now?”
Is this a supportive period for starting a business?”
Kendaraya explains what your chart indicates for a given area right now — which houses and periods are supportive, which call for care — not a guaranteed outcome. Focused guidance for a question you're already sitting with, not a verdict.
Your Kendaraya (Birth Chart) is the foundation everything else is built from. Kendaraya calculates it once at registration and keeps it on file, rendered natively in Sinhala, so you never need to re-enter your birth details again.
What's included: where every planet was at the moment you were born and which sign and house it falls in; your Lagna (rising sign) and Nakatha (birth star); how strong or well-placed each planet is; and your current planetary period, with the sub-periods within it.
Whether to act on a particular day, and precisely when during that day, are two different questions in Sri Lankan timing tradition. Kendaraya brings both together.
Three daily windows — Rahu Kalaya, Yama Kandam, Gulika Kalam — traditionally considered unsuitable for starting new work, signing agreements, or beginning a journey. Calculated for your exact location and today's sunrise/sunset.
Brahma Muhurta (pre-dawn, for prayer and study), Abhijit Muhurta (midday, for beginning important work), Vijaya Muhurta (associated with success), and the day's planetary Horas.
Tithi, Vara, Nakshatra, Yoga, and Karana — combined into a purity assessment, plus today's "safe windows." With your birth details on file, also includes your personal Nakatha status and Chandrabala.
Named combinations traditionally considered especially significant — such as Guru Pushya Yoga or Sarvartha Siddhi Yoga — flagged alongside any inauspicious combinations for the day.
These windows reflect traditional timing guidance — a factor to weigh, not a guarantee of outcome either way.
Weddings, groundbreakings, opening a business, signing a major agreement — Sri Lankan tradition has long used the Muhurtha Panchaka Shuddhiya method to check whether a specific proposed date and time is auspicious for exactly this kind of significant event.
How it works: the method combines four traditional factors from the moment being checked — the weekday, the nakshatra, the tithi (lunar day), and the lagna — into a single total. Depending on the result, the moment is classified as Shuddha (pure) or as one of five traditional caution categories: Mrityu, Agni, Raja, Chora, or Roga.
A traditional timing assessment, not a determination of how the event itself will go. Many families use it as one input alongside other planning.
Pancha Pakshi ("five birds") is a traditional South Indian and Sri Lankan system that assigns each person a birth bird based on their birth nakshatra. Throughout each day and night, that bird moves through five traditional activity states, and Kendaraya tracks which state applies right now.
A strong, favourable period.
A steady, comfortable period.
A neutral, ordinary period.
Low activity — better suited to rest than new initiatives.
There is also a fifth state, traditionally called "Dying." It is not a prediction about physical death — it simply means the birth bird's energy is at its lowest point in that cycle, and it's a better time to pause than to push.
Gochara is the traditional Vedic approach to planetary transits — not just where a planet is today, but what that position means specifically for your Kendaraya. Kendaraya tracks which of your natal houses each transiting planet currently occupies, classical special aspects (Mars toward the 4th/7th/8th houses from itself, Jupiter toward the 5th/7th/9th, Saturn toward the 3rd/7th/10th), Chandrashtama, and Sade Sati — the roughly seven-and-a-half-year cycle when transiting Saturn moves through the houses around your natal Moon.
Sade Sati has an outsized reputation for difficulty in popular astrology. Kendaraya presents it as one traditional transit factor to be aware of — a period that can call for patience and steady effort — not as an automatic period of hardship. Its effect depends heavily on the rest of your chart.
A Yoga, in astrology, is a specific combination of planets, signs, and houses that classical texts associate with a particular strength or theme in a person's life. Kendaraya's engine checks your chart against a substantial catalogue of these classical combinations.
Ruchaka, Bhadra, Hamsa, Malavya, Sasa — five combinations formed when a specific planet is strongly placed in a key house.
Gaja Kesari (a Jupiter-Moon combination), plus Sunapha, Anapha, Durudhara, and Kemadruma.
Vesi, Vasi, and Ubhayachari; plus combinations classically associated with authority and standing.
Harsha, Sarala, and Vimala; and Neecha Bhanga — cancellation of a planetary debilitation.
A mutual exchange between two planets' signs.
The day's Sun-Moon combination — 27 traditional daily yogas.
Kendaraya doesn't just search for a pattern and announce "Yoga found." The engine also checks the traditional strength and cancellation conditions attached to each combination. A chart can technically satisfy part of a classically difficult yoga while other factors in the same chart soften or cancel it — and Kendaraya's assessment reflects that, rather than a flat yes/no.
Astrology draws on several distinct traditions, and Kendaraya keeps them clearly separated rather than presenting everything as one undifferentiated "ancient wisdom."
Porondam, Rahu Kalaya, Muhurtha Panchaka Shuddhiya, and other timing customs familiar in Sri Lankan households.
The birth-yoga catalogue draws on named classical sources including Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra, Phaladeepika, Saravali, and Brihat Jataka.
A 20th-century analytical technique developed by K. S. Krishnamurti, layered on top of classical nakshatra divisions.
The Swiss Ephemeris calculation engine that produces the underlying planetary positions everything else is built from.
Not every Kendaraya feature appears in a classical text, and we don't present it as if it does. Where a practice is Sri Lankan tradition rather than classical Jyotisha or KP, we say so.
Porondam — Sri Lanka's traditional 20-factor (Visi Porondam) horoscope compatibility method — checks two people's Kendaraya against each other across twenty separate classical factors, each measuring a different dimension of compatibility.
The report includes: a result for each of the 20 factors individually, with a short explanation; an overall compatibility percentage; and a written assessment and grade.
Porondam is a traditional compatibility assessment — a structured way to reflect and discuss, alongside everything else that goes into a marriage decision. It doesn't determine whether two people should or shouldn't marry.
Kendaraya is built on the knowledge and experience of the late Chandrasiri Bandara, one of Sri Lanka's best-known astrologers.
For years, he helped bring complex astrological interpretation into language ordinary people could understand. He was also an early advocate of using technology to make personalised astrology more accessible — working as far back as 2011 on a mobile service that generated horoscope guidance from a person's date, time and place of birth.
Kendaraya continues that philosophy today. His knowledge and methods helped form the foundation. Modern astronomical calculation and WhatsApp allow us to carry it forward.

Nadeesha, Colombo.
One horoscope. One conversation. There when you need it.
Two very different things sit underneath every Kendaraya reading, kept separate on purpose.
The astronomical layer calculates exactly where the Sun, Moon, and every other planet were at the precise moment and location of your birth, using Swiss Ephemeris — the calculation engine widely used in professional astrology software — in the sidereal zodiac used by Vedic and Sri Lankan astrology.
Sidereal astrology needs a starting-point adjustment called an ayanamsha. Kendaraya uses two, for two different purposes: Lahiri ayanamsha for your chart display — planet signs, sign lords, and house placements — and Krishnamurti ayanamsha for KP-specific calculations — your nakshatra sub-lord, sub-sub-lord, and Dasha timing. This isn't one setting doing double duty; it's the correct ayanamsha applied to each calculation.
The astrological layer takes those calculated positions and applies Kendaraya's interpretive rules — the Porondam factors, the yoga catalogue, the KP significator method, the timing traditions — to produce your reading. The ephemeris tells us where the planets are. Kendaraya's engines tell us what that traditionally means.
Where a written explanation is generated, the calculation always comes first, and the explanation is built from the calculated result afterward — never the other way around.
KP — Krishnamurti Paddhati — is an analytical method developed in the 20th century by K. S. Krishnamurti. It isn't ancient; it's a structured refinement built on top of classical Vedic astrology's nakshatra system, designed to answer specific yes-or-no questions with more precision than a general reading allows.
Kendaraya uses KP because it gives the engine a structured framework for examining specific life questions — like the 16-area analysis — and for connecting a chart factor to a timing window, rather than offering only a broad general reading.
KP is a well-regarded analytical framework within astrology, not a scientifically validated predictive method, and Kendaraya doesn't claim it is. It's a tool for structured guidance and reflection.
Kendaraya was built around how Sri Lankans actually talk about astrology — not translated from somewhere else. We say Kendaraya, not "birth chart app." We ask for your Nakatha. Families check Porondam before a marriage is discussed further. People check Rahu Kalaya before an important meeting without a second thought. Auspicious times still genuinely matter for weddings, new homes, business openings, and ceremonies across the island.
Some of the mathematical and textual traditions behind Kendaraya have roots shared across South Asia. What's distinctly Sri Lankan is how the product is built, presented, and used — the terminology, the practices emphasised, and the WhatsApp-native experience designed specifically around Sri Lankan habits.
