GET/v1/astro/rudraksha

Rudraksha Recommendations

Returns Rudraksha bead recommendations per planet. Each planet maps to a specific mukhi (face count) with presiding deity, exact beej mantra, recommended metal, wearing day, how the bead is worn (strung at the neck or wrist, not on a finger), and classical notes including the important distinction that mukhi assignments are attributed to deities in tradition — planetary correspondence is traditional astrological synthesis. Pass ?planet=Jupiter for a single planet. Omit ?planet to get all nine planets.

Request parameters

string | null

One of Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu (case-sensitive). Omit for all nine.
