Aaj ka Panchang

Panchang of the Selected Day: Tithi, Vaar, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana

The five limbs (pancha anga) of the day. Each runs from the moment it begins to the moment it ends, so a day often holds two of them.

  1. Tithi

    Krishna Dwitiya till 1:16 PM

    then Krishna Tritiya

    The 2nd lunar day of the dark fortnight (Krishna paksha); a tithi lasts while the Moon gains 12° on the Sun.

  2. Vaar

    Guruvara

    Thursday, the day of Jupiter; a vara runs from one sunrise to the next.

  3. Nakshatra

    Mrigashira till 5:47 PM

    then Ardra

    The 5th of the 27 nakshatras: the sidereal zodiac from 53°20′ to 66°40′, which the Moon crosses in about a day.

  4. Yoga

    Siddha till 7:50 AM

    then Sadhya till 3:45 AM, 27 Nov

    then Shubha

    The 21st of the 27 nitya yogas, counted from the sum of the Sun's and the Moon's sidereal longitudes.

  5. Karana

    Gara till 1:16 PM

    then Vanija till 11:31 PM

    then Vishti

    One of the seven movable karanas; a karana is half a tithi.

Paksha: Krishna

Udaya tithi: Krishna Dwitiya. The tithi at sunrise names the day; vrat and festivals follow it.

Nakshatra padas end: Mrigashira 2 · 7:11 AM · Mrigashira 3 · 12:29 PM · Mrigashira 4 · 5:47 PM · Ardra 1 · 11:06 PM · Ardra 2 · 4:26 AM, 27 Nov

    OfficialAstrology™

    Calculation Method: How We Calculate

    Our own engine
    Every position comes from NASA JPL's DE440 ephemeris through software we built and tested ourselves. Over a full year, our tithi and nakshatra end times match India's official Rashtriya Panchang to within about a second on average.
    Drik method, Lahiri ayanamsa
    We use the true, observed positions of the Sun and Moon (drik ganita) and Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa exactly as the Indian Astronomical Ephemeris defines it, the standard of India's national calendar.
    Sunrise, as you see it
    Sunrise is the moment the Sun's upper edge appears, with the bending of light by the air included. Every window of the day is measured from it.
    Why panchangs differ
    Two panchangs can differ by a minute or two: older tables, a different ayanamsa, a different definition of sunrise or other city coordinates. The moment a tithi ends is the same everywhere; only the local clock time changes.
    The conventions we follow, item by item
    Panchang day
    From one sunrise to the next. The tithi at sunrise names the day (udaya tithi).
    Months
    Shown both ways: purnimanta (North India) and amanta (South and West India). A month is adhik when the Sun does not change sign from one new moon to the next.
    Ekadashi
    Smarta dates: the Ekadashi running at sunrise. Where the Vaishnava date falls a day later, it is shown as well.
    Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika
    The time from sunrise to sunset is split into eight equal parts; the weekday decides which part each one takes.
    Varjyam and Amrit Kalam
    Each nakshatra's span in time is divided into 60 ghatis. Each window starts at the ghati the traditional table gives for that nakshatra and lasts 4 ghatis.
    Bhadra
    Bhadra is the Vishti karana and ends with it. Its mukha and puchha follow Muhurta Ganapati; where it stays (its loka) follows the Moon's sign.
    Tamil yoga
    From the weekday and nakshatra table that Tamil calendars use.
    Raja and Mantri of the year
    The Raja is the weekday of Chaitra Shukla Pratipada and the Mantri the weekday of Mesha Sankranti, both counted at sunrise in Ujjain.
    Times
    In the city's own time zone, to the nearest minute, as India's official Rashtriya Panchang prints them: sunrise, sunset, the end of a tithi or nakshatra and every window built on them. Before 1972 the clock is the mean solar time that clocks then kept.
    Overlapping windows
    Where a good window meets a time to skip, both keep their own times, and the shared part is not suggested for starting new work.

    A panchang (pancha anga, five limbs) is the Hindu almanac of the day. These are its parts, in the order families usually read them.

    01Tithi: the lunar day

    A tithi is the time the Moon takes to gain 12° on the Sun. There are 30 in a lunar month, 15 in the bright half (Shukla paksha, ending with Purnima) and 15 in the dark half (Krishna paksha, ending with Amavasya). A tithi lasts from about 19 to 26 hours, so it rarely matches a calendar day.

    02Udaya tithi: why sunrise decides

    The Hindu day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise, and the tithi running at sunrise names the day. Because sunrise differs by city, the same date can carry a different tithi in two cities, and a vrat can fall on different dates.

    03Vaar: the weekday

    Each weekday belongs to a planet: Sunday to the Sun, Monday to the Moon, and so on. The vaar also begins at sunrise, not at midnight.

    04Nakshatra: the Moon's star

    The sky is divided into 27 nakshatras of 13°20′, each with four padas. The day's nakshatra is the one holding the Moon; most muhurta rules start from it.

    05Yoga and karana

    Yoga comes from the Sun and Moon added together, in 27 parts. Karana is half a tithi: 11 karanas, 60 in a month. Vishti karana is the one called Bhadra.

    06Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda and Gulika

    Sunrise to sunset is divided into eight equal parts, and the weekday decides which part each belongs to. Rahu Kaal is the 2nd part on Monday, 3rd on Saturday, 4th on Friday, 5th on Wednesday, 6th on Thursday, 7th on Tuesday and 8th on Sunday. Tradition avoids beginning new work in it; worship and routine work go on.

    07Muhurta: the 48-minute unit

    The day and the night each hold 15 muhurtas; their length follows the real day and night. Abhijit is the 8th muhurta of the day, around noon. Brahma muhurta is the second-last muhurta of the night, before sunrise.

    08Choghadiya and hora

    Choghadiya splits the day and the night into eight parts each, named Amrit, Shubh, Labh, Char, Udveg, Rog and Kaal. Hora gives each hour to a planet, starting at sunrise with the lord of the weekday.

    09Months and samvat

    North India counts a month ending at Purnima (purnimanta); South and West India count it ending at Amavasya (amanta). The two differ only in the dark half. Vikram Samvat runs about 57 years ahead of the common era, Shaka Samvat about 78 years behind.

    What is Udaya Tithi, and why can vrat dates differ?

    Udaya tithi is the tithi running at local sunrise; it names the day. Since sunrise differs by city, a vrat can fall on different dates in two cities.

    Why is the panchang different for each city?

    Sunrise, sunset and every window built on them depend on the city's latitude and longitude. A tithi or nakshatra ends at the same instant everywhere; only the local clock time differs.

    Why do two panchangs sometimes show different times?

    They may use older tables, a different ayanamsa, a different definition of sunrise or other city coordinates. We use NASA JPL DE440 positions with Lahiri ayanamsa and the visible sunrise.
