About the Hindu Panchang
The panchang (ā¤Ēā¤āĨā¤ā¤žā¤āĨā¤) is the traditional Hindu almanac that describes the five limbs of time â Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga, and Karana (half-lunar-day). Together these determine the auspiciousness of any moment.
Panchang calculations are location-specific because sunrise and sunset times â which anchor each day's tithi â differ by city. The panchang shown here is computed for Milpitas, CA using precise astronomical algorithms.
Understanding each element
- Tithi â The lunar day, based on the angular distance between the Sun and Moon. There are 30 tithis in a lunar month, split across Shukla (waxing) and Krishna (waning) Paksha.
- Nakshatra â The lunar mansion the Moon occupies. There are 27 nakshatras, each spanning 13°20' of the zodiac and carrying distinct energies.
- Yoga â Computed from the combined longitude of the Sun and Moon. There are 27 yogas; some are auspicious (Siddhi, Shubha), others inauspicious (Vishkambha, Vyatipata).
- Karana â Half a tithi (6° of Sun-Moon separation). There are 11 karanas in the cycle, repeating every lunar month.
- Vara â The weekday, each governed by a planet. Sunday (Sun), Monday (Moon), Tuesday (Mars), Wednesday (Mercury), Thursday (Jupiter), Friday (Venus), Saturday (Saturn).
