What is Panchang?· पंचांग क्या है?
The Panchang (from pancha, five, and anga, limbs) is the traditional Hindu almanac. Its five elements — tithi (lunar day), vara (weekday), nakshatra (lunar mansion), yoga and karana — together define the quality of a day and the muhurats within it. The timings above are computed for New Delhi. For a GPS-accurate panchang wherever you are, use the Sanatan Marg app.
