A first look at the lesson
In the North Indian chart the houses stay put: the top middle diamond is always the 1st house, and the houses run anticlockwise. The numbers written in them are the signs (Aries 1 … Pisces 12), and they move from chart to chart.
In the South Indian chart the signs stay put: Pisces in the top left box, then Aries, Taurus and Gemini along the top, running clockwise. The houses move instead, and a diagonal line marks the Lagna's box.
