Panchang — Frequently Asked Questions

What is Panchang?

Panchang (literally "five limbs") is the Hindu Vedic calendar for a day. Its five elements are Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (constellation), Yoga, Karana and Vara (weekday). AstroAsk computes them from precise astronomy for your chosen date and city.

What is Rahu Kaal and why does it matter?

Rahu Kaal is an inauspicious period of roughly 90 minutes each day, traditionally avoided for starting new or important work. It is one-eighth of the daylight and its slot changes with the weekday — AstroAsk shows the exact times for your location.

What is the most auspicious time today?

Abhijit Muhurat — the eighth of the day's fifteen muhurtas, centred on local noon — is considered the most auspicious window for new beginnings. Brahma Muhurat before sunrise is ideal for meditation and study.

How accurate is the AstroAsk Panchang?

Sunrise, sunset, tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are computed from real planetary positions (Lahiri sidereal ayanamsa) and typically match leading almanacs within a couple of minutes.

What is the difference between Amanta and Purnimanta months?

Both name the lunar month but use different end points: an Amanta month ends at the new moon (Amavasya), while a Purnimanta month ends at the full moon (Purnima). AstroAsk shows both.
