"Indra's Bow (Rainbow) - The Arc Upagraha"

Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra
Indra Dhanu Kodanda

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.

Importance
Indrachapa is used for understanding the arc of achievement, the spectrum of possibilities, and the connection between actions and their fruits.
Source
Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra

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)
