What is a Panchangam?
A Panchangam (Sanskrit pañca “five” + aṅga “limb”) is the traditional Hindu almanac. For every day it records five astronomical elements derived from the positions of the Sun and Moon. Together they are used to fix festival dates, vrat days and muhurtas (auspicious times) for ceremonies.
| Tithi | The lunar day: each 12° the Moon gains on the Sun. There are 30 tithis in a lunar month, 15 in each paksha (fortnight). |
| Vara | The weekday, counted from sunrise to sunrise, each ruled by a graha (Sunday by the Sun, Monday by the Moon, and so on). |
| Nakshatra | The lunar mansion: the 13°20′ segment of the sidereal zodiac in which the Moon is placed. There are 27. |
| Yoga | One of 27 divisions of the combined longitudes of Sun and Moon; each yoga carries a traditional auspicious or inauspicious quality. |
| Karana | Half of a tithi. Eleven karanas — seven movable and four fixed — fill the 60 half-tithis of a lunar month. |
Vedangam computes every panchangam from first principles: precise Sun and Moon positions, converted to the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsa adopted by the Indian Calendar Reform Committee. Months follow the Amanta scheme used in South and West India, with the Purnimanta name shown alongside.
