Nidarshana Vedh runs consultations for one audience as much as any other: people who no longer live in India. NRIs, the wider Indian diaspora, and non-Indian clients who want a serious Vedic reading conducted in English, not a ten-minute app call. This page exists for that group specifically: what the session covers, what the weekend slots look like in your own clock, what it costs in your own currency, and how booking and payment actually work when you are not sitting in India.
Who This Is For
- Indians living abroad who want a reading that does not assume you can pop into an office, and does not rush the parts of your chart that matter to a life lived across two countries.
- Non-Indian clients with a genuine interest in Vedic astrology (Jyotish) as distinct from Western astrology, read by someone trained in the classical method rather than generated by software.
- Anyone who has tried a five-minute call-centre astrology app and wants an actual conversation instead: 55 minutes, one chart, your questions answered in order.
Sessions run in English or Hindi, whichever you prefer. Mention it when you book.
What a 55-Minute Session Covers
Every session, wherever you are calling in from, is a full birth chart reading, not a shortened preview of one:
- Your Rashi (birth) chart, Navamsha, and the other divisional charts relevant to what you have come to ask about
- Your current Dasha (planetary period): what this phase of life is actually doing and roughly how long it runs
- Career, relationships, health, and wealth read from the houses and planets that govern them, not from a generic printout
- Karmic patterns behind things that keep repeating, and the periods where they tend to ease
- For matchmaking, the same depth applied to two charts together: Guna Milan, Mangal Dosha and Nadi Dosha read in context, not as a bare score
- Practical guidance you can act on, and simple remedies where they are actually warranted, never a sales pitch
The full breakdown of both session types, including what is included and the price, is on the consultation page.
Weekend Slots in Your Time Zone
Sessions run Saturday and Sunday, 11:00 to 19:00 India time (IST, UTC+5:30, which does not observe daylight saving). The first slot of the day starts at 11:00 IST and the last one starts at 17:25 IST, each running 55 minutes. The table below converts both of those start times into eight cities. Full country pages with the complete slot picture are linked at the bottom.
| City | Local zone (September) | First slot (11:00 IST) | Last slot (17:25 IST) |
|---|---|---|---|
| New York | Eastern, EDT, UTC-4 | 1:30 AM (same day) | 7:55 AM |
| Chicago | Central, CDT, UTC-5 | 12:30 AM (same day) | 6:55 AM |
| Los Angeles | Pacific, PDT, UTC-7 | 10:30 PM (Friday/Saturday night) | 4:55 AM |
| Toronto | Eastern, EDT, UTC-4 | 1:30 AM (same day) | 7:55 AM |
| London | British Summer Time, BST, UTC+1 | 6:30 AM | 12:55 PM |
| Dubai | Gulf Standard Time, GST, UTC+4, no DST | 9:30 AM | 3:55 PM |
| Singapore | Singapore Time, SGT, UTC+8, no DST | 1:30 PM | 7:55 PM |
| Sydney | Australian Eastern Standard Time, AEST, UTC+10 | 3:30 PM | 9:55 PM |
Malaysia (Malaysia Time, UTC+8) reads the same as Singapore.
A plain reading of that table: North America gets the working end of this deal, not the pleasant end. Because IST is nine and a half to twelve and a half hours ahead of the US and Canadian zones shown here, the entire 11:00 to 19:00 IST window falls in the middle of the North American night. Dubai, Singapore, Malaysia and Sydney get a comfortable daytime or early-evening window. The UK sits in between: a workable late morning into early afternoon.
The shift in winter. IST never changes. The US, Canada and UK zones above all move to standard time in autumn, so from early November the US and Canadian times in the table each get one hour earlier, and from late October the UK time gets one hour earlier too. Sydney runs the opposite way: Australia moves onto daylight saving from the first Sunday of October, so from October the Sydney time in the table gets one hour later. Dubai and Singapore do not observe daylight saving at all, so their times never change.
The Fee
The consultation fee is a flat ₹12,000 for either session type (Life Reading or Matchmaking), regardless of where you are booking from. Approximate equivalents, for reference only:
| Currency | Approximate equivalent |
|---|---|
| US Dollar (USD) | ~$140 |
| Euro (EUR) | ~€130 |
| British Pound (GBP) | ~£113 |
| Canadian Dollar (CAD) | ~C$195 |
| Australian Dollar (AUD) | ~A$220 |
| UAE Dirham (AED) | ~AED 515 |
| Singapore Dollar (SGD) | ~S$190 |
These figures move with the exchange rate and are approximate. The fee itself is set in INR; your card or bank applies its own conversion at the time of payment.
What Diaspora Clients Usually Ask About
None of the following are promises of an outcome. A chart shows tendencies, timing and pressure points, and the questions below are the ones that come up most often from clients living outside India, read as guidance rather than forecasts of a specific result:
- Immigration and visa timing. Which periods in your Dasha tend to support paperwork moving, and which tend to bring delay.
- Green card, PR, and long residency waits. What the 9th and 12th houses indicate about the effort a long wait is likely to demand, and roughly when pressure tends to ease.
- Marriage matching across countries. Compatibility read the same way it is read for two charts in the same city, adjusted for the practical reality of a relationship split across time zones.
- Career moves abroad. Whether a specific move, change of employer, or shift to self-employment lines up with a favourable period or a difficult one.
- Buying property abroad. Timing indicators for large financial commitments, read alongside your own due diligence, not instead of it.
- Ageing parents in India. What the chart suggests about periods that call for more attention or presence, so you can plan rather than react.
- Children’s education. Timing and indicators around schooling decisions, particularly where a move between countries is involved.
- Timing a return to India. Whether and when your chart favours coming back, as distinct from staying settled abroad.
Bring whichever of these are relevant to you. The session follows your questions, not a fixed script.
How Booking and Payment Work
Pick a slot
Open the Cal.com booking page. It shows the Saturday and Sunday slots already converted to your device's time zone, so you do not need to do the conversion yourself.
Share your birth details
Date of birth, exact time of birth, and place of birth. For matchmaking, both people's details. If you do not know your exact birth time, say so when you book.
Get a confirmation email
We confirm within 24 hours with a payment link sent by email. International cards are accepted, and the amount is shown in INR.
Join on Google Meet
55 minutes, at the time you booked, in your own time zone. No app to install beyond Google Meet itself.
What the Session Will Never Include
- No death predictions, asked for or not.
- No gemstone or remedy selling. Nothing recommended can be bought from us, because we sell nothing but the reading.
- No vashikaran, black magic, or “enemy removal.” These are treated as frauds and are not offered.
- No fatalism. You will not be told a period “cannot be survived” or a dosha “must be paid for.”
The full statement of this is on the consultation page.
Frequently Asked Questions
↳ What time zone are the sessions in, and how do I convert them?
Sessions are scheduled and confirmed in India time (IST, UTC+5:30). You do not need to convert anything by hand: the Cal.com booking page detects your device's time zone and shows every slot already converted. The table above gives you the general shape of the window for eight common cities.
↳ What language is the session conducted in?
English or Hindi, whichever you prefer. Mention your preference when you book so the session is not spent switching between the two.
↳ Can I record the session?
Yes. You are welcome to record it on Google Meet for your own reference, or to share with a partner or family member who could not join.
↳ What should I prepare beforehand?
Your exact date, time and place of birth, and for matchmaking the same for the second person. Beyond that, a written list of what you actually want to ask about tends to make better use of the 55 minutes than arriving with nothing.
↳ What if I do not know my exact birth time?
Say so when you book. An approximate time, within an hour or two, is usually still workable. With no birth time at all, some parts of the reading (particularly the ascendant) become less precise, and we will discuss what is realistic before the session, not during it.
↳ How do I pay from outside India?
Once your slot and birth details are confirmed, a payment link is sent by email. International cards are accepted. The amount charged is shown in INR; your bank or card issuer applies its own conversion.
↳ What is the refund or rescheduling policy?
To reschedule, use the reschedule or cancel option on your original booking confirmation from the Cal.com link. If you need help beyond that, reply to the confirmation email.
↳ Is this only for Hindus, or people already familiar with astrology?
No. Vedic astrology (Jyotish) is a method of chart reading, not a religious requirement. Clients of every background book sessions, and no prior familiarity with astrology is assumed.
↳ How is this different from an app like Astrotalk?
Platform apps typically give you ten to fifteen minutes with whichever astrologer is free, often leaning on a software-generated report read out loud. Here you get a full 55 minutes with a chart that has been studied in advance, no upselling of gemstones or rituals, and no rush to end the call on time.
↳ How far in advance do new slots open?
Slots are released on a rolling basis on the Cal.com page. If nothing suitable is showing for a few weeks out, check back, or email to ask when the next batch opens.
