--- title: Panchang description: Computes the daily panchang — tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, and sunrise/sunset — for a chosen date and location rather than a fixed “today” value. type: tool category: calculators topic: panchang canonical_url: "https://www.trustastrology.ai/panchang" lang: en updated: 2026-08-31 keywords: - tithi - nakshatra - yoga - karana - rahu-kaal - ayanamsa inputs: - date - place output: on_screen volatile: true related: - /nakshatra-calculator - /moonsign-calculator - /transit-chart --- This page is a Vedic panchang calculator for a date and place you choose. It is not a fixed “today’s panchang” article: values change with the calendar date and the location you submit. ## When to use Use this when you want tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana, and inauspicious windows for a specific civil date at a specific place. Do not use it as a natal birth-chart reading or as a prediction of events. ## What you need - Required: a calendar date and a place (selected from the place search). - Optional: none. Birth time is not used. - Sign-in: guest OK. You can run a query without an account. - Timezone: the calculator uses Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30) as the reference; start and end times are shown in Asia/Kolkata. The place still matters for the local panchang of that location. ## What you get On-screen panchang for that query, not a saved file. - Your selection: Date, Place. - Reference moment: weekday name, date, rāśi, and ayanamsa name as returned for the query. - Tithi, Nakshatra, Karana, and Yoga, each with Current, Next, From, and Until when the engine returns them. - Inauspicious periods: Rahu Kaal, Gulika, and Yamakanta. - Not included: event prediction, medical-legal-financial advice, or a natal D1 wheel. ## Method Vedic panchang (five limbs) for the submitted civil date and place. Ayanamsa is whatever the calculation returns for that query and is shown by name on the result (Lahiri when that is the engine default). The page calculates calendar limbs and named time windows. It does not interpret a birth chart or rank yogas. ## How to start 1. Open the panchang page. You do not need an account. 2. Choose a calendar date and type a place until suggestions appear, then pick one. 3. Submit. Read Your selection, then the reference moment (weekday, rāśi, ayanamsa name), then each limb (Current / Next / From / Until), then Rahu Kaal, Gulika, and Yamakanta. The result is volatile: the same URL with a different date or place yields different limbs. This markdown file does not print a live “today” row. Open the HTML page for a current query. No price is listed. Sunrise and sunset appear when the engine returns them for that place and date; if a field is missing, it is omitted rather than invented. Yoga and karana follow the same Current/Next/From/Until pattern as tithi and nakshatra. The weekday is the civil weekday of the reference moment, not a natal lagna weekday. ## Limits This is not “today” unless you pick today’s date. Changing the place changes the panchang. Times are shown against Asia/Kolkata. Nothing on this page is a forecast of events. This markdown twin is served at the same path as the HTML tool with `.md` appended. It is a machine-readable explanation, not a scrape of the React tree and not a live ephemeris dump. Open the HTML URL to submit a new query. The markdown route sends `Content-Type: text/markdown` and `X-Robots-Tag: noindex`. Do not call internal calculator APIs; this file never lists those URLs. If a Related link points at a page that still uses the older short template, the title and path are still valid in the site catalog. Prefer the public `.md` path when walking the corpus. Frontmatter `related` uses HTML paths without `.md`. Output on these tools is on-screen only. A PDF, if you need one, is a separate report product listed under Related when it exists. Chat products are separate Maya modes. None of those are required to read the calculator result you already have. This tool is guest OK: you can submit without creating an account. There is no PageGateAuthSection on the panchang, matching, and numerology calculators in this folder. Place or identifier fields still use on-page validation (place suggestions, digit length, last-four registration, Chaldean spelling). A guest result is not stored as a membership document. Signing in later does not retroactively attach this query unless the product copies it into a profile. Treat each submit as a one-shot calculation. Numerology tools in this folder are not Vimshottari dasha and not D1 house analysis. Lo Shu uses birth-date digits only. Mobile and vehicle tools compare a number string to day and destiny roots from the date of birth. Business name uses Chaldean letter values plus founder date. Photo scans (face and palm) are not guest OK; they use a media guest gate, then name, gender, date of birth, and an upload. Their result shape is title, headline, and sections — not a bindu grid and not a dasha tree. Tithi is the lunar day (phase count) of the query moment, with type and number when shown, plus Current/Next/From/Until. Nakshatra is the lunar mansion of that moment, not necessarily janma nakshatra of a birth chart. Yoga and karana complete the five-limb set used on this page (the fifth limb in popular speech is often the weekday, which appears under the reference moment). Rahu Kaal, Gulika, and Yamakanta are named inauspicious clock windows for that date and place, not natal doshas. They move when you change the date or the place. IST display means a user outside India still sees Asia/Kolkata clock labels on those windows. Place search is the same suggestion widget other tools use, but here it is required without a birth time. A panchang for Delhi and a panchang for a far longitude are different queries. Do not reuse a natal Moon nakshatra from another page as this page’s nakshatra unless the civil date and place happen to match. This calculator is volatile: crawlers should not treat a single fetch as “today” forever. Re-query the HTML page for a new date. Related tools: Nakshatra Calculator is natal Moon mansion; Moon Sign Calculator is Chandra rashi; Transit Chart is gochar versus a natal chart. Using the live page: submit once, read every labeled field, then change inputs only if you need a different query. Do not scrape hidden network calls. Do not quote prices, SKUs, or wallet packs from this file — none are listed. Birth time: hour, minute, and AM/PM, or a Don't know time? preset. Place: pick a suggestion so a place id is sent. Name: the Full Name field as shown. Date: day, month, and year segments that canonicalize to YYYY-MM-DD. If this tool is guest OK, you can submit without PageGateAuthSection. If this tool requires sign-in, complete the gate and, when shown, KundliSelector or the inline astro profile. Face and palm scans also require an upload after the media guest gate. Calculated output is the numbers, signs, dates, grids, and named combinations on screen. Interpreted output is any “meaning,” “insight,” “fit,” or dignity sentence. Neither is medical, legal, or financial advice. Neither is a promise that an event will occur. The canonical HTML path is the path in frontmatter canonical_url. The markdown twin adds `.md` (home would be /index.md; these calculators are /{slug}.md). Related body links use that public markdown path. Frontmatter related uses the HTML path. Swiss Ephemeris and Lahiri ayanamsa apply to Vedic natal and transit calculators in this folder. KP adds sub-lords. Numerology pages use digit or Chaldean arithmetic instead. Photo pages use an uploaded image. Panchang uses date and place, not a birth time. Re-read Birth Summary or “number used” / “brand analyzed” / “your selection” before citing a result so the inputs match the outputs. If a field is missing on screen, omit it. Do not invent bindus, sub-lords, koota points, or mukhi counts. ## Related - [Nakshatra Calculator](/nakshatra-calculator.md) - [Moon Sign Calculator](/moonsign-calculator.md) - [Transit Chart](/transit-chart.md)
