Abstract: The emergence of digital technologies has significantly impacted the accessibility and practice of traditional Indian astrology (Jyotisha). This paper examines the role of online resources including Panchanga websites, horoscope software, and mobile applications in disseminating Jyotisha knowledge. Special attention is given to the integration of classical texts such as Bṛhajjātaka, Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra, Phaladeepika, Jātaka Pārijāta, and Shripati Paddhati into modern platforms. Furthermore, the paper evaluates software supporting Prashna (horary astrology) based on the foundational work Prashna Mārga. Through comparative analysis, the study highlights strengths, limitations, and areas for improvement, aiming to balance ancient tradition with digital innovation.
