Understanding the Hindu Panchang
Pancha (five) anga (limbs): the five elements above describe every day in the Hindu calendar. They are calculated for your location and its sunrise (Drik ganita) with the Lahiri ayanamsa.
1 Tithi (lunar day)
The lunar day, measured by the angle between the Moon and the Sun. The tithi at sunrise governs the day's observances; its end time is shown above.
2 Nakshatra (lunar mansion)
The stretch of sky the Moon is passing through. Each has a ruling planet and four padas, shown with today's nakshatra above.
3 Yoga
A combination of the Sun's and Moon's positions. The current yoga and the one that follows it are listed above.
4 Karana (half-tithi)
Half of a tithi. Each karana has its own nature, shown with the current karana above.
5 Vara (weekday)
The Vedic day runs from one sunrise to the next and has a ruling graha, shown above.
