Reading the panchang
What are the five limbs of the panchang?
Tithi (the lunar day), vara (the weekday), nakshatra (the Moon's star), yoga (the Sun and Moon together) and karana (half a tithi). Each can change during the day, so the panchang shows when each ends and what follows.
What is Rahu Kaal?
About an hour and a half each day, ruled by Rahu, when new beginnings are traditionally avoided. Its time changes with the weekday and with sunrise and sunset at your place.
What is Abhijit Muhurta?
The auspicious window around local noon, good for starting important work. It is not used on Wednesdays.
What is choghadiya?
The day and the night are each split into eight parts. Amrit, Shubh and Labh are good for beginnings, Char is neutral, and Rog, Kaal and Udveg are best avoided.
Why does the panchang differ by city?
Every timing is counted from sunrise and sunset at the place, so Mumbai and Kolkata can differ by more than half an hour.
