"Indra's Bow (Rainbow) - The Arc Upagraha"
Overview
Indrachapa means 'Indra's Bow' - the rainbow. As an upagraha, it represents the arc of fortune, the bow of achievement, and the spectrum of possibilities. It is derived from Parivesha's position.
Principle: Just as a rainbow arcs across the sky connecting earth and heaven, Indrachapa shows the arc of connection between effort and result, the bridge between desire and fulfillment.
Calculation
Formula: Indrachapa = 360° - Parivesha
Alternate Formula: Indrachapa = Sun + 46°40' (direct calculation)
Example
Scenario: Parivesha at 1°40'
Calculation: 360° - 1°40' = 358°20'
Result: Indrachapa is at 358°20' (28°20' Pisces)
Verification: Indrachapa + Parivesha = 360° (always)
