Why Nepali Astrology Needs Its Own Digital Tools — and How SriPatro Supports Practitioners

For decades, most digital astrology software has been built for global or Indian contexts. While many tools are powerful, they often fall short when used in Nepali day-to-day workflows.

Practitioners regularly deal with dates shared in AD that must be referenced in BS, Panchang data that does not align with Nepali calendars, and interfaces that lack local language or cultural familiarity. These gaps may seem small, but over time they introduce friction, repetition, and avoidable errors.

As a result, many users rely on a mix of spreadsheets, screenshots, and multiple websites just to manage basic calculations and records.

SriPatro was created to reduce that friction.

Built around Nepali workflows

SriPatro focuses on calculation, reference, and organization, not interpretation or advice.

• Nepali Panchang data: View commonly referenced Panchang elements such as Tithi, Nakshatra, and Yoga in a Nepali-context format.
• AD ↔ BS date conversion: Convert dates quickly and accurately without switching tools.
• Local calendar context: Access commonly used Nepali observance dates for planning and record-keeping.
• Day overview utilities: Optional weather and date context for general planning use.

Clear, structured chart calculations

SriPatro provides chart generation and presentation, allowing users to interpret results independently.

• Kundali (D1) and Navamsa (D9): Generate commonly used chart layouts.
• Visual markers: Planetary states such as exaltation, debilitation, and retrograde are displayed as symbols for quick reference.
• Readable tables: Signs, houses, nakshatra, and pada are presented in a clean, structured format suitable for reports or personal study.

SriPatro does not generate predictions, recommendations, or automated interpretations.

Lightweight report and client organization

To support everyday workflow management:

• Save and revisit reports: Keep calculated Panchang and chart outputs organized for later reference.
• Easy sharing: Export formatted report images for documentation or communication.
• Mobile-first design: Optimized for phones and tablets used between appointments or while traveling.

Privacy-first by default

• Local data storage: Saved reports remain in the user’s browser unless manually exported.
• No automatic uploads: User data is not transmitted or stored on external servers by default.
• Offline-friendly patterns: Core features remain usable even with limited connectivity.
• Bilingual interface: Available in Nepali and English.

Why purpose-built tools matter

Digital tools work best when they respect local context. By focusing on calculation accuracy, clarity, and workflow efficiency, SriPatro helps users spend less time managing data and more time focusing on their own expertise.

Rather than replacing human judgment, SriPatro acts as a supporting utility — simplifying repetitive tasks without altering personal practice styles.

What we’re building next

SriPatro is evolving based on user feedback, with a focus on:

• Improved localization
• Better defaults for Nepali calendars
• Faster workflows for frequent calculations

If there’s a repetitive task you wish took fewer steps, we’d love to hear about it.

SriPatro is designed to modernize Nepali astrology workflows without automating interpretation or advice — keeping control where it belongs: with the user.
