Panchang Today

Pick your city above and the current tithi appears at the top, along with the exact time it ends and which tithi follows. A tithi is not a day — it is an angle, completed each time the Moon gains 12 degrees on the Sun. That is why it changes partway through the day rather than at midnight.

Tithi, nakshatra, yoga and karana are identical worldwide at any given instant — only your clock shows a different time for them. But sunrise, sunset, Rahu Kaal, Gulika, Yamaganda and Abhijit Muhurat are all measured from your local sunrise, so they genuinely differ from city to city.

Yes. The page reads the real UTC offset for your selected city on the selected date, so it follows daylight saving automatically. A panchang that uses a fixed offset will be an hour wrong for half the year in the United States, Canada, the UK and Australia.

Yes. Change the date and time above and the calculation follows. This is commonly used to find a birth nakshatra. Use an accurate birth time — the nakshatra changes roughly once a day, so if the birth happened near a changeover even half an hour can shift it. A birth certificate or hospital record is the most reliable source.

No. This gives panchang elements — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, rashi. A kundli additionally involves the positions of all nine grahas, the twelve houses and the dasha periods. What you get here is one part of that, not the whole.

The calculation uses astronomical formulas rather than a stored table. It has been checked against established panchang sources: the names of the nakshatra, yoga, karana and rashi match exactly, and the transition times fall within one to three minutes. Sunrise and sunset use the standard astronomical definition including atmospheric refraction.
