Panchang: the five limbs of the Hindu almanac
The five limbs
A daily Panchang lists five elements measured at sunrise: tithi (lunar day), nakshatra, yoga, karana (half-tithi) and vara (weekday). Together they describe the quality of a day.
Rahu Kaal, Choghadiya & Hora
Beyond the five limbs, a Panchang marks time windows — Rahu Kaal (avoid new starts), Abhijit Muhurta (auspicious midday), Choghadiya, and the planetary Hora — all from sunrise and sunset.

Is Panchang accurate?
The astronomy (sunrise, sunset, tithi) is exact and verifiable; the 'auspicious' labels are classical convention.
