Questions about the panchang
What is today's tithi?
In New Delhi today it is Shukla Dashami, until 2:13 PM, then Ekadashi; the nakshatra is Dhanishta. Pick your city above for local times.
What is Rahu kalam today?
In New Delhi today Rahu kalam is 12:05 PM – 1:30 PM. It is one of the eight parts of the daylight, in a fixed order by weekday, so it changes with your city's sunrise and sunset.
What are the five limbs of the panchang?
Tithi (the lunar day — the Moon's lead over the Sun in 12° steps), nakshatra (the Moon's star, 27 of them), yoga (the Sun's and Moon's longitudes combined, 27), karana (half a tithi) and vara (the weekday, counted from sunrise).
Why do panchangs differ by a few minutes?
Sunrise depends on the city and on the convention (Ayana uses the Sun's upper edge with standard refraction), and some panchangs use a different ayanāṁśa. The limbs' end times are computed to the minute with the Swiss Ephemeris.
Which month system does this use?
Amanta — the month ends at the new moon, as in South and West India. In purnimanta regions (much of North India) the dark half carries the next month's name.
