Kashyapa Hora is a Nadi based Prasna Shastra which was written in ancient Sanskrit and Tamil language

Who is Kashyapa Rishi

Here have to tell a few words about the Great Maharshi Kashyapa. Lord Brahma is responsible for the creation of Maanasa. Shatarupa and Swayambhu Manus are responsible for the creation of Manushya or Human being. Lord Brahma’s son is Marichi and his wife was Kala Devi. Maharshi Kashyapa was
