Panchang is the traditional Hindu calendar that lists the five elements of a day — tithi, vaar (weekday), nakshatra, yoga and karana — along with auspicious timings, Rahu Kaal and festivals.

What are the five elements (Panchang) of a day?

The five limbs are Tithi (lunar day), Vaar (weekday), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga and Karana. Together they determine auspicious and inauspicious timings.

Rahu Kaal is an inauspicious period of roughly 90 minutes each day, ruled by Rahu, during which starting important new work is traditionally avoided.

What is Shubh Muhurat?

Shubh Muhurat is an auspicious time window calculated from the Panchang for beginning important activities like pooja, travel, housewarming or business.
