Questions this guide answers

  • Is today good for this?
  • What is today nakshatra?
  • What is tithi?

Before you begin

  • Choose a date and location for daily timing.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Choose date and place

    Set the calendar date and location because sunrise, lunar-day boundaries, and local windows depend on them.

    Expected result: The intended date and location are visible for the displayed local calculations.

  2. 2

    Read the overview

    Review tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, vara, sunrise, and sunset before opening detailed timing.

    Expected result: Tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, vara, sunrise, and sunset are visible for the same date and place.

  3. 3

    Compare timing tabs

    Use Muhurat, Chogadhiya, Hora, and Lagna views for their intended planning purpose.

    Expected result: The selected Muhurat, Chogadhiya, Hora, or Lagna view is visible with its timing details.

  4. 4

    Personalize when needed

    Add Tarabalam for birth-star context or use Muhurta for a specific planned event.

    Expected result: Tarabalam or Muhurta opens when personal birth-star or event-specific context is required.

Best use

Use Panchang for daily timing before rituals, meetings, travel, or decisions.

Read the day qualities first, then use Muhurta when you need a more precise event time.

Troubleshooting and recovery

Times differ from another city or website

Confirm the date, coordinates, timezone, sunrise convention, and calculation settings. Local windows are location-dependent.

A tithi or nakshatra changes during the selected day

Check the displayed start and end times rather than treating the sunrise value as valid all day. Panchang elements can cross boundaries between local sunrise and midnight.

Frequently asked questions

Is one favorable Panchang factor enough?

No. Important timing should consider the event type, multiple Panchang factors, the person when relevant, and practical constraints.
