Frequently asked questions
What is the Panchang?
The Panchang is the traditional Hindu almanac. It describes the day through five limbs (anga): the tithi (lunar day), vara (weekday), nakshatra (Moon's star), yoga and karana. Together they indicate the quality of the day.
What are the five limbs of the Panchang?
Tithi (the lunar day, based on the Moon–Sun angle), Vara (the weekday), Nakshatra (the star the Moon occupies), Yoga (from the combined Sun and Moon position) and Karana (half a tithi).
How is this Panchang calculated?
From the sidereal (Lahiri) positions of the Sun and Moon for the day, using traditional Vedic rules. It is computed for Indian Standard Time.
Does the Panchang change during the day?
Yes — the tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana each change at their own moment. This page shows the values prevailing in the morning; for the exact timings of change, consult a detailed panjika.
