The five limbs of the Panchang
Panchanga means “five limbs”. Together they describe the quality of a day in the Hindu calendar:
- Tithi — the lunar day. Each tithi is the time the Moon takes to gain 12° on the Sun, so there are 30 in a lunar month, 15 in the bright half (Shukla Paksha) and 15 in the dark half (Krishna Paksha). Most festivals and fasts, such as Ekadashi, are set by tithi.
- Nakshatra — the lunar mansion occupied by the Moon.
- Yoga — one of 27 divisions of the combined longitudes of the Sun and Moon.
- Karana — half of a tithi. Vishti (Bhadra) karana is traditionally avoided for auspicious work.
- Vara — the weekday, which in the Vedic reckoning begins at sunrise rather than midnight.
Rahu Kalam, Yamaganda and Gulika
The daytime (sunrise to sunset) is divided into eight equal parts, and each weekday assigns one part to Rahu, Yamaganda and Gulika. Because the parts depend on local sunrise and sunset, these periods differ from city to city and through the year — generic “7:30 to 9:00” tables are only approximate.
Amanta and Purnimanta months
In the amanta system (used in much of South and West India) a lunar month ends at the new moon; in the purnimanta system (North India) it ends at the full moon. The two names differ only during Krishna Paksha. When no solar ingress (sankranti) occurs during a lunar month, it is an Adhika (extra) month.
Our method
Times use apparent sunrise (upper limb with atmospheric refraction) at sea level, the Lahiri ayanamsha for nakshatra and yoga, and the place’s historical time-zone rules. Panchangs that use the Sun’s centre or a different sunrise definition can differ by a minute or two.
Frequently asked questions
Which tithi applies to a day?
Traditionally, the tithi in force at local sunrise governs the whole day for most observances. We show the tithi at sunrise first, followed by any tithi that begins before the next sunrise.
Why is Rahu Kalam different from the timing I see elsewhere?
Many sites use fixed 6 am – 6 pm tables. We calculate Rahu Kalam from your city’s actual sunrise and sunset, which is the traditional method.
Can I see the Panchang for a city outside India?
Yes. Choose any city — London, New York, Sydney — and all timings are calculated for that location and shown in its local time, including daylight saving.
