Generate Kundali chart SVG

Generate Vedic astrological chart SVGs. Returns North Indian and South Indian style charts for both Lagna (D1) and Navamsa (D9), as SVG strings. Each planet shows abbreviation, degree°minutes', and superscripts for Vakri (ᴿ), Asta (ᶜ), and Vargottama (ᵛ). Returns North Indian (Uttar Bharatiya) and South Indian (Dakshina Bharatiya) Kundali charts as inline SVG. Also returns Navamsa (D9) chart. The response contains SVG strings for each chart style. To render them: 1. In browser: create an HTML file, paste the SVG string directly into the body tag. 2. In React/Vue/Angular: use dangerouslySetInnerHTML or v-html to render the SVG string. 3. To preview instantly: copy the lagna_north value and paste into https://svgviewer.dev Chart styles returned: - lagna_north: North Indian style (diamond layout) - lagna_south: South Indian style (square grid layout) - navamsa_north: D9 Navamsa chart North Indian style - navamsa_south: D9 Navamsa chart South Indian style - legend: R=Vakri(Retrograde) C=Asta(Combust) V=Vargottama
