What is Panchang?

The Panchang (literally “five limbs”) is the traditional Hindu calendar combining lunar and solar reckoning. The five elements: Tithi (lunar day, 1-30), Nakshatra (lunar mansion, 1-27), Yoga (sun + moon combination), Karana (half-tithi), and Vara (weekday).

A note on accuracy

Our calculation uses simplified astronomical formulas accurate to ~1 hour for tithi and ~30 minutes for nakshatra. Good for casual reference. For wedding muhurtas, exact tithi sankraman times, or critical religious decisions, use a published almanac (Drik or Kalnirnay) or consult a panchang-expert.
