}- The Vinshottari Dasha API response provides details about planetary periods in Vedic astrology.
- It includes the start and end dates of each major period (Maha Dasha) and its sub-periods (Antar Dasha) for the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu, Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars, and Rahu.
- These periods are based on the positions of the planets at the time of birth and help astrologers interpret significant life events and transitions for individuals.
