What is Panchang?

Panchang is the Hindu almanac built from five limbs: tithi (lunar day), nakshatra (lunar mansion), yoga, karana and vara (weekday). It maps the day's auspicious and inauspicious periods for a specific place, which is why timings differ from city to city.

How This Panchang Is Calculated

BhaktiRas Panchang uses drik ganita, the observational method followed by modern Hindu almanacs. Planetary positions come from the Swiss Ephemeris with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsha. Sunrise is the moment the upper edge of the Sun appears on the horizon, with standard atmospheric refraction, computed for New Delhi (Delhi). The Hindu day runs from sunrise to sunrise, so a tithi shown past midnight still belongs to this panchang day. All times are IST.
