Panchang Today
Panchang (from Sanskrit pancha = five, anga = limb) is the traditional Hindu almanac. It describes five key elements of the day: Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (Moon's position), Yoga (sun–moon angle), Karana (half-tithi), and Vara (weekday). AstroVaan calculates panchang in real time for your chosen date and location.

Common questions
What is Rahu Kaal?
Rahu Kaal is an approximately 90-minute period each day considered inauspicious for starting new ventures. It varies by weekday and location. AstroVaan calculates the exact Rahu Kaal for your city.
What is the difference between Tithi and date?
A calendar date is based on the solar cycle. A Tithi is based on the angle between the Sun and Moon, and changes at different times each day. Tithis are used for religious observances and muhurat selection.
