Time is CRITICAL for Lagna (Ascendant) calculation and house divisions. It changes every two hours roughly.

Without exact time, Lagna and house-based predictions will be incorrect.","example":"10:12:00"},{"key":"latitude","name":"latitude","kind":"number","required":true,"description":"Birth location latitude in decimal degrees.

Raman ayanamsa from Hindu Predictive Astrology, about 1.45 degrees below Lahiri. \"kp-newcomb\" and \"kp-old\" are the two Krishnamurti Paddhati frames. \"custom\" takes your own value in degrees via ayanamsaValue, for reconciling exactly against a specific reference program. The frame rotates the whole zodiac, so a graha sitting within 1.45 degrees of a boundary can change rashi or nakshatra when you switch: pick the one your reference software uses and keep it.","enum":["kp-newcomb","kp-old","lahiri","raman","custom"],"default":"lahiri","example":"lahiri"},{"key":"ayanamsaValue","name":"ayanamsaValue","kind":"number","required":false,"description":"Custom ayanamsa value in degrees.
