## Request body

- DashakootRequest
  - `person1` BirthInput, required
    - `location` string, nullable: City name to resolve to lat/lon/tz automatically. Example: 'Mumbai' or 'New Delhi, India'. If provided, latitude, longitude and timezone are not required.
    - `name` string: Person name associated with the birth record
    - `date` string, required: Birth date in YYYY-MM-DD format
    - `time` string, nullable: Birth time in HH:MM 24-hour format. If omitted, sunrise chart is used as fallback.

    - `longitude` number, nullable: Longitude. Required if location not provided.
    - `timezone` string, nullable: IANA timezone. Required if location not provided (unless utc_offset is given). For dates before the zone adopted a standard time, the birthplace's local mean time (longitude / 15 hours) is used.
