सामान्य प्रश्न

What is Panchang?

Panchang is the Vedic almanac used in Hindu astrology to determine auspicious timings. It contains five elements (pancha = five, anga = limb): Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (Moon's position), Yoga (Sun+Moon combination), and Karana (half-tithi). It also includes sunrise/sunset, Rahu Kaal, and auspicious muhurtas.

How to read Panchang?

To read today's Panchang: (1) Note the Tithi — which lunar day it is (1–30, with 15=Purnima/full moon and 30=Amavasya/new moon). (2) Note the Nakshatra — which lunar mansion the Moon occupies. (3) Check Rahu Kaal for the day to avoid for new ventures. (4) Check for any special Yoga (like Amrit Siddhi, Sarvartha Siddhi) which are extra auspicious. Use the city-specific Panchang as timings vary by location.
