About the panchang
What is a panchang?
A panchang is the Hindu almanac for a day and place. It has five limbs (pancha anga): tithi (the lunar day), vara (weekday), nakshatra (the moon's star), yoga and karana. Together they decide which times suit a puja, a journey or a new beginning.
Why does the panchang change with the city?
Sunrise, sunset and the day's periods such as Rahu kaal are tied to the local sun, so they move with longitude and latitude. Tithi and nakshatra change at the same instant everywhere, but the local clock time of that change differs.
What is Rahu kaal?
Rahu kaal is one eighth of the daylight, and which eighth depends on the weekday. Traditionally new work, purchases and journeys are not started in it. Gulika and Yamaganda are worked out the same way.
What is Abhijit muhurat?
Abhijit is the eighth of the fifteen daytime muhurtas, centred on local noon. It is widely used for starting important work when no other muhurat is available, though it is traditionally avoided on Wednesdays.
Purnimanta or amanta month?
North India mostly ends the lunar month on the full moon (purnimanta); South and West India end it on the new moon (amanta). In the waning fortnight the two names differ by one month, so we show both.
