The tool finder lists every free tool on our five sites in one place: the Western astrology, numerology, tarot, Chinese and Maya calendar tools of this site, the Vedic astrology, panchang and muhurat tools of Nidarshana Vedh, and the tools of our Jain, Vastu and Ayurveda sites. Type what you want to know in the box above, in your own words, such as Venus sign, tarot for love or kitchen vastu, and the tools that answer it come first. Or choose a need, such as Love and marriage or Home and workplace, to see every tool for it.
How it works
Each tool’s name and line are the ones its own site’s tools page shows, gathered from the pages of the five sites into one list. In every group the tools of this site come first. As you type, the finder looks for your words in each tool’s name, its classical name, its line and the words of its page title, and for a few tools in the names they list (the herbs of the herb lookup, the stones of the two gemstone tools, the festivals of the two festival dates tools), and ranks first the tools whose names hold them; a rare word counts for more than a common one. Words such as what, when, my or calculator are left out, and a few spellings and names count as the same word: kundli and kundali, shani and Saturn, vivah and marriage, muhurat and muhurta, paryushan and paryushana, neelam and blue sapphire. Everything happens in your browser, and what you type is not sent anywhere.
Two choices narrow the list. The site list keeps the tools of one site only. The need buttons keep one group: the groups of the Vedic site’s tools page, About me, Love and marriage, My timing, Good days, Prayer and remedies, Family and names and For students, and four more for the other sites: Home and workplace for Vastu and feng shui, Body, food and daily routine for Ayurveda, Jain practice and calendar, and Tarot and other readings.
Reading the result
The box at the top shows the best matches, up to six, and the list under it keeps every tool that holds all your words, each under its need. Each line gives the tool’s name as a link, the site it is on, its classical name where it has one, and what it does. A tool on another of our sites opens on that site, and the email check you have done on one of our sites counts on all five. When no tool holds every word, the finder says so and shows the tools that hold the most of them.
Where traditions differ
The same question can have more than one answer on our sites, because each site follows its own tradition, and the finder lists both. Your sign, for example, is the Western tropical sign on this site and the Vedic sidereal sign on Nidarshana Vedh, and the two can differ; the your sign in both systems tool shows them side by side. A dosha in astrology, such as Mangal dosha, is a placement in the birth chart, while the three doshas of Ayurveda, vata, pitta and kapha, describe the body’s constitution; the two ideas are unrelated. Jain parva days follow the Jain rule for a skipped or doubled tithi, so a Jain calendar and a Hindu panchang can name a day differently. Each tool’s page says which tradition and which rules it follows.
What it does not do
It does not work anything out: it only points to the tool that does. It lists our own free tools, not the paid Pro tools, our articles or other websites. It does not keep what you type. The list is made from the five sites’ own tool pages, so a tool added since then shows first on its own site’s tools page, such as this site’s tools page.
Frequently asked questions
↳ Which sites does the finder cover?
All five of our sites: Nidarshana Vedh for Vedic astrology, panchang and muhurat, and our Jain, Cosmos, Vastu and Ayurveda sites, this one among them. Each line says which site a tool is on, and the site list above narrows the finder to one of them.
↳ Is the finder free?
Yes, 100% free, and so is every tool it lists. The first time you use one of the tools, we ask for your email and send a 6-digit code to confirm it; that one check counts on all five sites. The privacy page says what we keep and why.
↳ Can I search in Hindi?
Partly. Hindi and Sanskrit names typed in English letters work, such as kundli, rashi, vrat, shani or muhurat. Hindi typed in Devanagari finds the tools that also have a Hindi page, such as the Mangal dosha and kundli matching calculators. मंगल दोष and मांगलिक count as Mangal dosha, so they also find the Mangal dosha check for two charts.
↳ Why does a search show tools from other sites?
Because one need is often met on more than one site. A question about marriage can lead to kundli matching and wedding dates on Nidarshana Vedh, and to synastry and the composite chart on Cosmos. The finder shows them together so you can choose; pick a site in the list to see one site only.
↳ What happens to words like when, my or calculator?
They are left out, because nearly every tool has them, and the finder searches on the words that say what you want. "When is my Hindu birthday" is searched as Hindu birthday.
↳ Can I link to a search?
Yes. Add ?q= and your words to the address, for example /tools/tool-finder/?q=hindu+birthday, and the finder opens with that search done.
