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.

Frequently asked

Is Panchang accurate?

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