Understanding the Hindu Panchang

The Panchang (from Sanskrit pancha meaning five and anga meaning limbs) is the ancient Hindu almanac that follows traditional Indian cosmology. It presents important astronomical data in a tabular form and is used by astrologers and Hindus to determine auspicious and inauspicious times for important events.

1. Tithi (Lunar Day)

Tithi is the angular distance between the Sun and the Moon. There are 30 tithis in a lunar month. It is the most important element for determining the dates of Hindu festivals and virats (fasts).

2. Nakshatra (Lunar Mansion)

The ecliptic is divided into 27 sectors called Nakshatras. The Moon travels through one Nakshatra approximately every day. Your birth star is the Nakshatra the Moon was in when you were born.

3. Yoga

Yoga is a mathematical calculation derived from the positions of the Sun and Moon. There are 27 Yogas, each with specific characteristics that influence the nature of the day.

4. Karana

A Karana is half of a Tithi. There are 60 Karanas in a lunar month. They are used to determine suitable times for specific actions and rituals.

5. Vara (Weekday)

Vara refers to the seven days of the week, each ruled by a planet (Graha). Sunday (Sun), Monday (Moon), Tuesday (Mars), Wednesday (Mercury), Thursday (Jupiter), Friday (Venus), and Saturday (Saturn).

Note on Accuracy: Bhakti5 computes all Panchang elements from first principles using the Lahiri Ayanamsa and high-precision astronomical algorithms (VSOP87). Our calculations are adjusted for your specific location (latitude/longitude) to ensure maximum accuracy for sunrise-dependent timings.

Guide to Auspicious & Inauspicious Muhurats

In Vedic astrology, Muhurat refers to a moment or duration of time that is auspicious for a specific activity. Choosing the right Muhurat aligns the energy of the cosmos with your actions, ensuring success and well-being.

🐍 Rahu Kalam (Avoid)▼

Rahu Kalam is a period of approximately 90 minutes every day ruled by the shadow planet Rahu. It is considered highly inauspicious for starting any new venture, business, or journey. However, routine tasks can continue.

💀 Yamaganda (Avoid)▼

Ruled by Yama, the god of death, this period is considered bad for any auspicious work. Actions started during Yamaganda often face failure or destruction.

🙏 Brahma Muhurat (Best)▼

Occurring approximately 1.5 hours before sunrise, Brahma Muhurat is the "Time of the Creator." It is the most powerful time for meditation, prayer, yoga, and studying. The mind is naturally calm and receptive during this window.

🌟 Abhijit Muhurat (Good)▼

Abhijit Muhurat falls around local noon. It is ruled by Lord Vishnu and is capable of destroying innumerable doshas (flaws). It is generally considered good for all auspicious activities, except on Wednesdays.
