Step by step
How to read today’s Panchang
- 1
Choose your city
Sunrise — and so every time in the Panchang — depends on where you are.
- 2
Pick the date
Today is shown first; use the arrows for the next or previous day.
- 3
Read the five limbs
The tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana at sunrise, and when each ends.
- 4
Check the timings
Avoid Rahu Kaal for new work; use the Choghadiya to pick a good time.

What the Panchang shows
| Element | What it is |
|---|---|
| Tithi | The lunar day: each 12° the Moon moves ahead of the Sun. 15 in the bright half (Shukla, to Purnima) and 15 in the dark half (Krishna, to Amavasya). |
| Nakshatra | Which of the 27 lunar mansions (13°20′ each) the Moon is in. |
| Yoga | One of 27, from the Sun and Moon longitudes added together. |
| Karana | Half a tithi — 11 karanas cycle through the month; Vishti (Bhadra) is avoided. |
| Vara | The weekday, counted from sunrise to sunrise. |
Rahu Kaal and Choghadiya
The daytime from sunrise to sunset is split into eight equal parts. Rahu Kaal is the 8th part on Sunday, 2nd on Monday, 7th on Tuesday, 5th on Wednesday, 6th on Thursday, 4th on Friday and 3rd on Saturday — so it moves with sunrise and is not a fixed clock time. Choghadiya divides the day and the night into eight periods each; Amrit, Shubh and Labh are good, Char is neutral (good for travel), and Udveg, Kaal and Rog are avoided.
