Panchang is a traditional Hindu calendar that provides essential information about the lunar month, including the five key elements: Tithi (lunar day), Vara (day of the week), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga (a specific combination of celestial bodies), and Karana (half of a Tithi). It is used to determine auspicious timings for various activities, rituals, and festivals in Hindu culture.
The Panchang is not only a tool for scheduling religious events but also serves as a guide for daily life, helping individuals align their actions with cosmic rhythms. It is widely consulted by priests, astrologers, and devotees to ensure that important tasks are performed at the most favorable times.
