What is a Panchang?
A panchang is the classical Hindu almanac: tithi (lunar day), vara (weekday), nakshatra, yoga and karana — the five limbs that define each day’s astrological quality, plus auspicious and inauspicious muhurta windows such as Abhijit and Rahu Kaal.
Use the calculator above for any date and place, or open a city page for today’s panchang with sunrise, sunset and Rahu Kaal computed for that city’s exact coordinates. Every value uses the Swiss Ephemeris in the Lahiri sidereal system.
Panchang — frequently asked questions
- What is in a daily panchang?
- Tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, weekday (vara), sunrise and sunset, Rahu Kaal, Yamaganda, Gulika Kaal, Abhijit muhurta and choghadiya windows — all computed for your chosen place and date.
- What is Rahu Kaal?
- Rahu Kaal is a roughly 90-minute inauspicious window each weekday ruled by Rahu. Tradition avoids starting important new work during it; the exact local time depends on sunrise and varies by city.
- How is panchang different from choghadiya?
- Panchang is the full five-limb almanac for the day. Choghadiya is one part of it — eight day and eight night muhurta segments (Amrit, Shubh, Labh, Rog, Kaal, etc.) used to pick a good moment for travel or new work.
- Which cities do you support?
- Over 270 Indian cities, pilgrimage centres and NRI hubs worldwide. Open any city from the list for today’s panchang and choghadiya with local sunrise and sunset.
