Panchang Calculator for Daily Vedic Calendar

The Panchang Calculator creates a daily Vedic calendar report from a selected date, time, and place. It uses Sun and Moon positions with a chosen ayanamsa to calculate Tithi, Paksha, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, Vara, Rashi, and lunar phase.

The workflow is simple: search a birthplace, confirm coordinates and timezone, calculate the Panchang, then review or export the result.

How to Use This App

  • Select the date and local time for the Panchang report
  • Search and choose a birthplace to auto-fill latitude, longitude, and timezone
  • Choose the ayanamsa mode and report detail level
  • Use Today or Sample Delhi for a quick starting point
  • Click Calculate Panchang to generate the daily Vedic calendar
  • Review the Overview, Details, and Interpretation sections
  • Export the report as TXT, JSON, copied text, or print it

Examples and Use Cases

Use the Panchang Calculator to check daily Vedic calendar details for a specific date, time, and place.

  • Daily Panchang check: Select today’s date and your city to see the current Vara, Tithi, Paksha, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, Moon Rashi, Sun Rashi, and lunar phase.
  • Birthplace-based report: Search for a birthplace such as Delhi, India to auto-fill latitude, longitude, and timezone, then generate a Panchang report for a chosen birth date and time.
  • Compare ayanamsa modes: Calculate the same date and place using Lahiri, Krishnamurti, Raman, or Fagan-Bradley ayanamsa to see how sidereal positions may change.
  • Festival or cultural planning: Enter a future date to review the Tithi, Nakshatra, and lunar phase before preparing notes for a puja, fasting day, or cultural calendar entry.
  • Save a Panchang record: After calculating, use the export section to copy the report, download TXT or JSON, or print the results for reference.

Helpful Details

How Panchang Factors Are Calculated

A Panchang is based mainly on the angular relationship between the Sun and Moon. Tithi comes from the Sun-Moon separation, Nakshatra comes from the Moon’s sidereal position, Yoga combines Sun and Moon longitudes, and Karana divides each Tithi into two parts.

Tips for Better Results

  • Use the correct local time: A small time change can affect Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, or Karana near transition points.
  • Select the birthplace when possible: This helps auto-fill latitude, longitude, and timezone more accurately than manual entry.
  • Check the ayanamsa setting: Different traditions may use different sidereal offsets, so results can vary slightly.
  • Use noon for a day overview: If you only want a general daily Panchang, noon is often a practical default time.

Limitations and Use

This tool is useful for educational, cultural, and planning purposes, but Panchang methods can vary by region, tradition, sunrise rules, and calendar convention. For formal Muhurta, festival observance, or religious timing, compare the result with your preferred local calendar or a qualified Panchang source.
