The panchang ("five limbs") is the spine of Vedic timing. We compute all five — tithi, vara, nakshatra, yoga, karana — for any date and any timezone, along with sunrise + sunset for your latitude and the day’s rahu / yamagandam / gulika windows.
Tithi (lunar day), vara (weekday), nakshatra (lunar mansion), yoga (sun-moon longitudinal sum), karana (half-tithi). Most apps surface 2-3 of these. We surface all five.
Computed for your exact latitude — the basis for all the day’s window calculations. Rahu kalam, yamagandam, and gulika kalam derive from the sunrise + day length.
Free-tier users get today’s panchang on the dashboard. Pro + Max users get a morning push notification with the day’s panchang at the time they choose.

For your location and timezone today: Tithi Krishna Dwadashi, vara Guruvara, nakshatra Pushya (pada 3), yoga Shubha, karana Kaulava. Sunrise 06:42, sunset 18:14. Rahu kalam 13:30-15:00, yamagandam 09:30-11:00, gulika kalam 06:42-08:12. Pushya + Shubha + Guruvara is a strong combination for new beginnings in education, ethics, and intellectual work.
The tithi, nakshatra, etc. are defined relative to your sunrise. Sunrise varies by latitude (further from the equator = wider variance) and timezone. So Mumbai’s panchang is not Singapore’s panchang, even on the same calendar date.
Sunrise and sunset are computed from the Swiss Ephemeris with refraction corrections at your latitude. Accurate to within ~10 seconds — better than most almanacs.
Yes — today’s panchang is free for everyone, no signup. Looking up panchang for any future or past date is also free.
Yes — Pro and Max users can opt in to a morning panchang push notification at the time they choose (default 06:42 in your timezone).
