Astronomical method and verification

Tithi uses geocentric Moon–Sun elongation in 12° steps; karana uses 6° steps. Nakshatra uses the Moon's Lahiri sidereal longitude and yoga uses the sum of sidereal Sun and Moon longitudes, both in steps of 13°20′. The day begins at sunrise and includes every transition before the next sunrise.

The Lahiri positions are checked against Swiss Ephemeris (https://www.astro.com/swisseph/swephinfo_e.htm); its reference calculations provide an independent comparison. Sunrise and sunset use a fixed −0.833° geometric solar-centre altitude at sea level, representing the upper limb with standard refraction; hills, buildings and local weather are not modelled.

The MIT-licensed Astronomy Engine (https://github.com/cosinekitty/astronomy) supplies the astronomical positions. Calendar times are calculated locally in the browser; no Swiss Ephemeris code or data is distributed with this tool.

Calendar names and traditional tables

The Indian Calendar by Sewell and Dikshit (1896), a public-domain reference available through the Internet Archive catalogue (https://archive.org/details/indiancalendarwi00sewe), describes tithis, nakshatras, yogas, karanas and lunar months. The Positional Astronomy Centre (https://positionalastronomycentre.wordpress.com/) publishes the Rashtriya Panchang and background on Indian calendars.

Sunday-to-Saturday daylight eighths are Rahu 8, 2, 7, 5, 6, 4, 3; Yamaganda 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 7, 6; and Gulika 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1. Abhijit is the eighth of fifteen equal daylight parts and is traditionally not observed on Wednesday.

Day Choghadiya cycles through Udveg, Char, Labh, Amrit, Kaal, Shubh and Rog; the Sunday-to-Saturday starting names are Udveg, Amrit, Rog, Labh, Shubh, Char and Kaal. Night cycles through Shubh, Amrit, Char, Rog, Kaal, Labh and Udveg, starting with Shubh, Char, Kaal, Udveg, Amrit, Rog and Labh. These are traditional labels, not predictions or decision advice.

Amanta months are named from the Sun's sidereal sign at the preceding new moon; no solar-sign ingress between consecutive new moons makes an adhika month. For Purnimanta, the waning fortnight takes the following Amanta month's name; the adhika interval remains new moon to new moon in both systems. Chaitradi Vikram and lunar Shaka years start at Chaitra Shukla Pratipada: the Gregorian year plus 57 and minus 78 after that start, with one subtracted before it. Kartikadi and the Indian national solar Shaka calendar use different year starts.

City coordinates and IANA zones use the site's GeoNames city data (https://www.geonames.org/), available under CC BY 4.0. New Delhi and Mumbai quick picks use the site's daylight-tool coordinates; custom coordinates are also supported.

How to use it

  3. Open the month view or save a card with the day's tithi and nakshatra.

Frequently asked questions

What are the five elements of Panchang?

Vara is the weekday and its traditional lord. Tithi is a 12° step of Moon–Sun elongation; nakshatra is one of 27 sidereal Moon sectors, with four padas each. Yoga divides the sum of sidereal Sun and Moon longitudes into 27 sectors, and karana is a half-tithi. This page lists each element at sunrise and all its transitions during the sunrise day.

Why do times differ by city?

Sunrise and sunset depend on latitude and longitude, and the clock display depends on the city's time zone. Rahu Kaal and Choghadiya are fractions of that local daylight or night. Lunar transitions happen at the same instant worldwide, but the tithi at sunrise can differ between cities.

Which sunrise convention does this use?

Sunrise and sunset use the Sun's upper limb with standard refraction, represented by a fixed solar-centre altitude of −0.833° at sea level. The Panchang day runs from sunrise to the next sunrise; a time after midnight is marked +1 day. Terrain and changing weather can alter an observed sunrise.

What is the difference between Amanta and Purnimanta?

Amanta months end at new moon; Purnimanta months end at full moon. During the waning fortnight this page gives the following Amanta month's name for Purnimanta; the adhika interval remains new moon to new moon in both systems. The era years shown use Chaitra Shukla Pratipada as New Year; regional calendars may use another year start.

Can a tithi be skipped or last across two sunrises?

Yes. A tithi can begin and end between two sunrises, so it is absent from a list containing only sunrise tithis; this is called kshaya. A longer tithi can be present at two consecutive sunrises. The day view includes transitions within the day, while the month view shows only the tithi at each sunrise.

Is Panchang a scientific prediction?

The Sun and Moon positions and time divisions are astronomical calculations. Names and auspiciousness labels belong to a cultural calendar; they do not predict events or provide advice about decisions.
