How to read today's panchang
The five limbs each answer one question about the day. The tithi is the lunar day, the Moon's angle ahead of the Sun; the vara is the weekday with its planetary lord; the nakshatra is the mansion the Moon is passing through; the yoga combines the two lights; and the karana is the current half-tithi. Rahu Kalam is the roughly 90-minute window tradition sets aside each day. Each entry is explained in plain language on the main panchang page, and the system itself on the panchanga guide.
Times on this page are set for Kolkata (22.5726°, 88.3639°) in its local time zone (IST). Today the Sun rises here at 5:31 AM and sets at 5:14 PM, and because the Vedic day runs from one sunrise to the next, an entry that fills most of the day for Kolkata can begin or end at a different clock time elsewhere. The calculator above recomputes everything for Kolkata if you change the date, or for any other place if you change the city.
