Panchanga is a Hindu calendar and almanac that provides important astrological information including Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (constellation), Yoga, Karana, and Vaara (weekday). It is used to determine auspicious times (muhurat) for important events and religious ceremonies.

How accurate are the calculations?

Our calculations use Swiss Ephemeris, the most accurate astronomical calculation engine available, providing precision within seconds of arc. We follow the Drik Siddhanta (observational) method for high accuracy in Vedic astrology calculations.

Tithi is a lunar day in the Hindu calendar, calculated based on the angle between the Sun and Moon. There are 30 Tithis in a lunar month, divided into two fortnights (Paksha): Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) and Krishna Paksha (waning moon).

Nakshatra refers to the 27 lunar constellations or star groups that the Moon passes through in its monthly cycle. Each Nakshatra has unique characteristics and is used in birth chart analysis, muhurat calculation, and predictive astrology.

Rahu Kalam (also spelled Rahu Kaal) is an inauspicious time period of approximately 90 minutes that occurs every day. It is traditionally avoided for starting new ventures, important meetings, or auspicious ceremonies. The timing varies by day of the week and location.

Can I use this for any location worldwide?

Yes, our Panchanga calculator supports over 100,000 locations worldwide. You can calculate accurate panchanga for any city or location by entering the coordinates or searching for the city name.

Is this service free to use?

Yes, Vedic Panchanga is completely free to use. We provide accurate calculations using Swiss Ephemeris without any subscription or payment required.
