    About Nikola Tesla

    Nikola Tesla (1856–1943) was a renowned Serbian-American engineer and inventor internationally known for his pioneering contributions to the development of alternating current electricity systems. Born in Smiljan in the Austrian Empire, Tesla studied engineering and physics before emigrating to the United States in 1884. He briefly worked for Thomas Edison before establishing his own laboratories to pursue independent research. Tesla patented the induction motor and related alternating current technologies, licensing them to entrepreneur George Westinghouse. This technology became the global standard for long-distance power distribution. Throughout his career, Tesla made significant advances in electromagnetism, high-voltage experiments, radio communications, and wireless energy transmission, notably inventing the Tesla coil. Despite obtaining over three hundred patents worldwide and gaining widespread fame for his visionary concepts, Tesla faced financial difficulties in his later years. He spent his final decades living in New York City, where he passed away in 1943.

    A genuine Vedic Kundli for Nikola Tesla would need their exact birth time and place, and those are not in the public record. The Ascendant (Lagna), house placements, Nakshatra and Dasha timeline all change with just a few minutes' difference — so we don't invent a time or quietly default to noon. This profile therefore shows only what the birth date can honestly support: Sun sign, Moon sign (Rashi), Chinese zodiac and Life Path.
