Today's Panchang

Five limbs at local sunrise for your city and date, plus sunrise and sunset, on the Lahiri sidereal zodiac. Almanac, not muhurta.

Panchang is the five-limbed Vedic almanac used across India for festivals, fasting and muhurta planning. The five limbs are tithi (lunar day), vara (weekday), nakshatra (Moon’s mansion), yoga (Sun–Moon combination) and karana (half-tithi). We compute them for your chosen place on the civil date you pick, anchored at local sunrise (the classical convention for the Hindu day). This page is almanac facts, not an auspicious-time verdict. Sidereal positions use the Lahiri ayanamsa. Pick a city and date to see today’s limbs plus sunrise and sunset in that location’s local time, then ask the AI reader how the day’s tithi or nakshatra might matter for your chart.

FAQ

Panchang questions

What are the five limbs of Panchang?

Tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga and karana. Together they describe the quality of the day for ritual and electional astrology.

Why sunrise?

Traditional panchangas assign tithi and nakshatra for the Hindu day that begins at local sunrise, not midnight.

Is this a muhurta or auspicious-time guarantee?

No. This page shows the almanac facts at sunrise. Choosing a wedding or travel time still needs full muhurta rules and your chart context.

Which ayanamsa do you use?

Lahiri (Chitrapaksha), matching most Indian panchangas and this site’s default natal charts.

Why can Panchang differ from another website?

Small differences come from sunrise algorithms, elevation, ayanamsa or whether the other site uses midnight. Compare the same city, date and convention.
