This is perhaps the most detailed delineation of the Lagna Bhāva from several classical texts. The topics include Lagna fundamentals, success in the homeland or abroad, judging three portions of life, dṛṣṭi yogas, facial features, personality traits, health and diseases, madness, speech-related yogas, fame, and fame renown, miscellaneous yogas, and yogas from other sources.
Each of these topics has a detailed deliberation of the topic covered. For instance, the Lagna fundamentals contain Lagna Kārakatvas, strengths and weaknesses, body structure and complexion, physical felicity, and physical appearance. Similarly, success in the homeland or abroad, the characteristics of the foreign land etc.
A section is dedicated to a student-teacher dialogue on several aspects of this Bhāva and the concerned yogas. I believe this contains almost everything one would ever need to know about the Lagna Bhāva.

Sarajit Poddar (aka Varāhamihira) is a Jyotish enthusiast. He learned the subject from his paternal uncle Sri Manoj Kānti Poddar and was guided by Pt. Sanjay Rath. He is a seeker and wishes to understand the alignment of the forces that govern the celestial bodies and worldly affairs. In his studies over the thirty years, he endeavoured to uncover the hidden meaning behind the shlokas and sutras of the classical texts and reconcile their differences. His search for the hidden meaning behind the Jyotish principles took shape in this book, “In Search of Jyotish”. He wishes to share his observations, reflections and experiences with like-minded seekers.
