What is the Panchang?
The Panchang is an ancient Hindu
calendar that is essential to Hindu religious practices. It is made up of five
elements that are used to predict auspicious days and times for religious
activities. The five elements are Tithi (date of the lunar cycle), Nakshatra
(position of the moon), Yoga (astronomical position of the Sun and Moon),
Karana (half of a Tithi) and Var (weekday) and they are used in combination to
determine the auspicious dates and times. The Panchang is used to determine
auspicious dates to perform rituals, religious ceremonies and festivals. It is
also used to predict lucky days for marriages and other important events.
Additionally, the Panchang is used to observe important Hindu religious
festivals such as Diwali, Holi and Raksha Bandhan. The Panchang is also used to
set dates for important business and financial decisions. This ancient calendar
helps Hindus better understand the cosmic cycles of time and how they can best
use the cosmic energy to work in harmony with the universe.
The Components of a Panchang
1. Tithi: Tithi refers to the lunar day
according to the Hindu calendar. It is calculated based on the position of the
moon and sun in relation to each other and is divided into 30 equal parts, each
part called a tithi.
2. Vara: Vara is the weekday in the Hindu
calendar, such as Sunday, Monday, etc.
3. Yoga: Yoga is a combination of two
planets determined by their longitude at a particular time.
4. Karana: Karana is divided into two
categories, Shukla (bright) and Krishna (dark). Each Karana is further divided
into two parts and each part is a Karana.
5. Nakshatra: Nakshatras, or lunar mansions,
are determined by the location of the moon in relation to the background stars.
There are 27 Nakshatras or lunar mansions.

which consists of two fortnights of 15 days each.

Days of the Panchang
Days of the Panchang are divided into
two components: the Tithi and the Nakshatra. The Tithi is the lunar date, and
the Nakshatra is the 27-star constellation. Each day of the Panchang is divided
into 30 units, which are known as Tithis. The Tithis are further divided into
five subcategories, which are known as Karana. The Karana is an indicator of
the planetary position during that particular time of the day. Each Tithi is
either in the waxing phase or the waning phase of the Moon. The Nakshatras are
the 27 constellations which are used to determine the position of the Moon in
relation to the stars. The Nakshatras provide an insight into the energy and
energy levels of a particular day. The Panchang also provides information on
the Muhurtha, which is the auspicious timing for any task. The Muhurtha is
determined by the position of the Sun and the Moon and their influence on the
day’s energy.
Months of the Panchang
The Panchang, or Hindu calendar, is
divided into two distinct parts. The first part is the lunar calendar which is
made up of twelve months called Chaitra, Vaishakh, Jyeshtha, Ashadha, Shravana,
Bhadra, Ashvin, Kartik, Margashirsha, Paush, Magh, and Phalguna.
