Vedic almanac

## Today's Panchang

The five limbs of the day -- tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga, and karana -- plus sunrise, sunset, and the day's timings for your city.

The Panchang is the Vedic almanac. It describes the quality of the day from the positions of the Sun and Moon -- useful context, never a command.

Understand the day

## What the Panchang means

Plain answers to the parts of the almanac people ask about most.

What is a tithi?

A tithi is a lunar day -- the time it takes the Moon to move 12 degrees ahead of the Sun. There are 30 in a lunar month, and each carries its own gentle character.

What is a nakshatra?

A nakshatra is one of the 27 lunar mansions the Moon travels through. The Moon's nakshatra today colours the mood of the day and is central to Vedic timing.

What is a yoga?

Here, yoga is a calculation from the combined longitudes of the Sun and Moon -- one of 27\. It describes a subtle quality of the day, not a posture.

What is a karana?

A karana is half of a tithi. Two karanas make up each lunar day, and they're traditionally used to judge the suitability of small tasks.

What is the vara?

The vara is simply the weekday, each ruled by a planet -- Sunday by the Sun, Monday by the Moon, and so on. It sets the planetary tone of the day.

What is Rahu Kaal?

Rahu Kaal is a roughly ninety-minute window traditionally kept for routine rather than new ventures. It's guidance for planning, not a cause for fear.

Why does sunrise matter?

The Vedic day begins at sunrise, not midnight, so sunrise anchors every other timing in the Panchang. That's why it changes with your city.
