A panchang is a traditional Hindu calendar that provides essential information about the lunar months, days, and various astrological details. It includes five key elements: Tithi (lunar day), Vaar (day of the week), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga (a specific combination of planetary positions), and Karana (half of a Tithi). This calendar is used to determine auspicious times for rituals and ceremonies. The panchang is widely used in India and among Hindu communities worldwide. It helps individuals plan important events like weddings, festivals, and religious observances according to favorable astrological timings. Many people consult the panchang to align their activities with cosmic influences for better outcomes.
