Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability kshana-panchang-summary-api-30d726d3 -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: What's the Panchang summary for Mumbai on March 15, 2026? Use the Asia/Kolkata timezone and give me 3 consecutive days.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured Panchang (Hindu almanac) data for a specific date and geographic location, especially for applications involving Hindu religious observance, Vedic astrology, auspicious timing, or Indian cultural calendar features. It supports multi-day requests (up to 31 days) and both coordinate-based and city-shortcut-based location input.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'date' field returns a 400 validation error
- Invalid date format (not ISO YYYY-MM-DD) returns a parsing error
- Invalid IANA timezone string causes a timezone resolution failure
- Latitude/longitude out of valid geographic range may return an error
- 'days' value exceeding 31 is rejected by schema validation
- Unrecognized city shortcut in 'locations' field may return an error or be ignored
- Payment not fulfilled (x402) results in a 402 Payment Required response
