Five elements of today
- TithiLunar day
- Pratipada (प्रतिपदा)Paksha: Krishna (कृष्ण पक्ष)
- The lunar day—where the Moon stands between amavasya (new moon) and purnima (full moon). Most Indian festivals and vrats are fixed by tithi: Diwali on Amavasya, Ekadashi fasts on the 11th tithi, Karva Chauth on Krishna Chaturthi. Shukla paksha is the waxing bright half; Krishna paksha the waning dark half.
- NakshatraStar
- Bharani (भरणी)2 / 27
- The star cluster the Moon occupies at sunrise—one of 27 nakshatras. Families consult it for naming a newborn, matching horoscopes for marriage, and choosing gentle days for travel or surgery.
- YogaQuality
- Siddhi (सिद्धि)16 / 27
- One of 27 yogas—a blended quality computed from the positions of the Sun and Moon that day. Certain yogas favour health and success, while a few advise holding off on major decisions.
- KaranaHalf-tithi
- Kaulava (कौलव)32 / 60
- Half of a tithi—the finest slice of the panchang. Jyotishis use it to narrow an auspicious window down to particular hours for short tasks.
- VaraWeekday
- Tuesday (मंगलवार)Mars
- The weekday, each governed by a planet—Sunday by the Sun, Monday by the Moon, and so on. It colours the general tone of the day and suits particular work, rest, or planetary remedies.

Sun & Moon today
- Sunrise
- 06:29 AM
- The Sun's rising time at the selected city (IST). In Vedic timekeeping the day begins at local sunrise, not at midnight.
- Sunset
- 05:40 PM
- The Sun's setting time—the marker for evening aarti, lighting the diya, and the traditional day–night boundary.
- Sun sign (Rasi)
- Libra (Tula) (तुला)
- The sidereal (Vedic) zodiac sign the Sun currently occupies. It sets the month-long solar backdrop of the season.
- Moon sign (Rasi)
- Aries (Mesha) (मेष)
- The sign holding the Moon at sunrise. It shifts every couple of days and shapes mood, mind, and daily feelings more strongly than the Sun sign.
Why the Panchang matters
Panchang literally means “five limbs of time.” Across India it is the everyday Hindu calendar that people open before fixing anything important—a wedding date, a griha pravesh, a new venture, a festival vrat. Priests, jyotishis, and families rely on it because it ties together the Sun, the Moon, and the local sunrise, so each day is read from the sky above your city rather than a plain midnight-to-midnight clock.

Understanding Panchang
What is Panchang?
Panchanga means 'five limbs of time.' It is a traditional Hindu and Vedic calendar system that describes the daily astronomical and astrological conditions. The five elements—tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, and vara—together define the quality and character of any given day, helping people make decisions about auspicious times for important events.
How is it Used?
Panchanga is still widely used across India for planning weddings, starting businesses, traveling, and performing religious ceremonies. By consulting the panchanga, people identify auspicious (good) times and inauspicious (unfavorable) times. Each day has a unique combination of these five elements, creating distinct energy patterns that influence various activities.
Key uses
- Planning weddings and engagements
- Starting new businesses or ventures
- Choosing auspicious times for travel
- Performing religious ceremonies and festivals
- Scheduling medical procedures and surgeries
- Naming babies and important life events
Connection to your location
Panchanga is calculated based on local sunrise time at your location. Unlike a standard 24-hour clock that resets at midnight everywhere, the Vedic day begins at sunrise. This means the panchanga for New Delhi reflects the local astronomical conditions at that specific place on Earth.
