With a bit of Googling I managed to find:

which goes into calculations in great detail and also has code (I think
in Mathematica) embedded. Apart from that, there are a few links that
may be useful at:
http://www.math.nus.edu.sg/aslaksen/calendar/indian.shtml
And finally, a look at the Astrolog source code may be be able to give
you some insight into the calculations themselves... Astrolog does do a
Vedic chart too, so presumably it can do calculations for Indian
calendars.
I'd appreciate it if you (a) released whatever code you write under a
FOSS licence and (b) kept the list (or at least me) posted on progress
in the app.
Now over to the GPL vs BSD fanatics who will help you decide which
licence to use for your code ;-)
