Understanding Panchang
Tithi
A tithi is a lunar day. There are 30 tithis in a lunar month - 15 in Shukla Paksha (waxing) and 15 in Krishna Paksha (waning). Each tithi has its own significance for various activities.
Nakshatra
The 27 Nakshatras are lunar mansions that the Moon travels through. Each Nakshatra has a ruling deity and planet, influencing activities and muhurat selection.
Yoga
Yoga is calculated from the combined longitude of Sun and Moon. There are 27 Yogas, each with different qualities - some auspicious and some inauspicious.
Rahu Kaal
Rahu Kaal is an inauspicious period ruled by Rahu. It occurs daily and varies based on the weekday. New ventures and important work should be avoided during this time.
Abhijit Muhurat
Abhijit is the most auspicious muhurat of the day, occurring around midday. It is excellent for starting new ventures, except on Wednesdays when it is not observed.
Brahma Muhurat
Brahma Muhurat occurs about 1.5 hours before sunrise. It is considered the most spiritual time, ideal for meditation, worship, and study of scriptures.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Panchang?
Panchang (also called Panchangam) means "five limbs" in Sanskrit. It refers to the five elements of the Hindu calendar: Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga, and Karana. It is used to determine auspicious times for various activities.
Why does Panchang vary by location?
Panchang calculations depend on sunrise and sunset times, which vary based on geographical location. This affects the timing of tithis, nakshatras, and muhurats. That's why it's important to select your correct location.
How is Rahu Kaal calculated?
Rahu Kaal is calculated by dividing the daytime (sunrise to sunset) into 8 equal parts. The Rahu Kaal period varies each day of the week: Monday (2nd), Tuesday (7th), Wednesday (5th), Thursday (6th), Friday (4th), Saturday (3rd), Sunday (8th) period.
What activities should be avoided during Rahu Kaal?
During Rahu Kaal, avoid starting new ventures, signing important documents, beginning journeys, or conducting auspicious ceremonies. However, routine activities can continue. Emergency situations should not be delayed due to Rahu Kaal.
