Hindu Panchang Explained
The Hindu Panchang—also known as the Vedic calendar—is an ancient timekeeping system that combines astronomy and astrology to determine the most favorable timings for activities. The Panchang consists of five elements:
-
Tithi (Lunar Day)
-
Nakshatra (Constellation)
-
Yoga (Lunar Combination)
-
Karana (Half Lunar Day)
-
Vaar (Day of the Week)
It also provides valuable information such as shubh muhurats (auspicious timeframes), rahu kaal (inauspicious periods), sunrise and sunset timings, and planetary positions.
