About Lal Kitab
Lal Kitab (“the red book”) is a body of five Urdu volumes attributed to Pt. Roop Chand Joshi of Punjab, published between 1939 and 1952 (Lal Kitab ke Farmaan 1939, Lal Kitab ke Armaan 1940, Gutka 1941, the revised 1942 volume and the final 1952 edition). It reads the chart by fixed houses and is known for simple household remedies (upay).
The Lal Kitab Varshphal (the 120-year table that moves the houses year by year) is not included: we could not verify a public copy of the table, so it is left out rather than guessed.
