      About the panchang

      What is a panchang?

      The Hindu almanac. It has five parts (pancha anga): tithi (lunar day), vara (weekday), nakshatra (the Moon's star), yoga and karana. Together they are used to choose good times for ceremonies, travel and new beginnings.

      What is Rahu Kaal?

      About 90 minutes each day, traditionally avoided for starting anything new. The daytime from sunrise to sunset is split into eight parts, and the weekday decides which part is Rahu Kaal, so it changes with your city's sunrise.

      What is choghadiya?

      A system that divides the day and night into eight periods each. Amrit, Shubh and Labh are good; Char is fine for travel; Udveg, Kaal and Rog are avoided for new work. It is popular in Gujarat and Rajasthan for quick muhurat checks.

      Why does my printed calendar differ by a few minutes?

      Times depend on the city and on calculation choices. This page calculates the Sun and Moon positions for your selected city with the Lahiri ayanamsa, the standard used by the Indian government calendar. Differences of a minute or two from other panchangs are normal.

      Can I fix my griha pravesh date from this list?

      Use it to shortlist dates. A priest will also look at the lagna (ascendant), your family's horoscopes and local customs before fixing the final muhurat.
