Importance of Panchang in Vedic Astrology

The Panchang is the traditional Hindu calendar that provides essential astronomical data used for timing daily activities, religious ceremonies, and determining auspicious moments. It is built upon five primary elements: Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga (Luni-Solar day), Karana (half lunar day), and Vara (weekday). Knowing the planetary positions and the daily panchang helps align your actions with favorable cosmic energies.

The panchang lists the city's timings. For your specific big decisions, you need your personal auspicious moment.

Lunar Phase Calculation

What is a Tithi in Vedic Astrology?

A Tithi is a lunar day representing a 12-degree angular separation between the Sun and Moon. There are 30 Tithis in a lunar month - 15 during the waxing Moon (Shukla Paksha) and 15 during the waning Moon (Krishna Paksha).

✦ The 5 Tithi Categories

1. Nanda (1st, 6th, 11th): Brings joy and happiness.
2. Bhadra (2nd, 7th, 12th): Auspicious for wealth and stability.
3. Jaya (3rd, 8th, 13th): Brings victory and success.
4. Rikta (4th, 9th, 14th): Empty/inauspicious for new beginnings; good for cleansing.
5. Poorna (5th, 10th, 15th/30th): Full completion; excellent for sacred rituals.

✦ Ekadashi & Purnima Fasting

Ekadashi (11th Tithi) is dedicated to Lord Vishnu and is the most powerful day for spiritual fasting and physical detoxification.
