ambula Prashna is a branch of predictive astrology in Hinduism. Tambula
Prasna refers to the query from a person who approaches an astrologer with
a small gift called tambula, consisting of betel leaves, betel nuts, flowers, sandal
perfume/incense sticks, turmeric, kumkum (vermilion), dakshina (coins), coconut,
bananas
HINDU and other such items. The person places all these before the astrologer and
BLOG
raises his query. Prashna means querying. The astrologer takes a count of all the
items brought by the questioner and makes some mathematical calculations to arrive
There are many variations in this method of prediction. One method followed in
South India’s Karnataka region is as follows: add twelve to the sum total number of all
the items in the tambula; divide the resulting figure by seven; based on the
remainder, the nature/subject of the query is predicted. If the remainder is one, then
the query is about money matters and the solution will come from the authority /
administration / government. If two, the query is about women and ornaments and
the solution will come from friends and relatives. If three, the query is about disputes
and the solution will be through the court. If four, the query is about land matters,
and the solution is possible only with expenditure. If five, the query is about an
auspicious function to be organized, and the solution will result from an association
with noble persons. If six, it is about health, and the solution has to be medicine. If
seven (i.e., the remainder is zero), the query is about theft, and the lost item cannot be
recovered.
