🕉️ Om Panchang – Hindu Calendar & Panchangam

Accurate daily Vedic Panchang for 70+ cities worldwide

What is Panchang?

Panchang (also spelled Panchangam or Panchaanga) is the Hindu almanac that provides five essential elements of each day according to the Hindu calendar: Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga (auspicious combination), Karana (half-day), and Vara (weekday). These five elements are used by Hindus worldwide to determine auspicious timings for ceremonies, rituals, and important life events.

Daily Panchang Features

Tithi – Today's lunar day (Pratipada through Amavasya/Purnima)
Nakshatra – Moon's position among the 27 lunar mansions (Ashwini through Revati)
Yoga – One of 27 yogas determined by the sum of Sun and Moon longitudes
Karana – Half-tithi period (Bava, Balava, Kaulava, Taitila, Gara, Vanija, Vishti)
Paksha – Shukla Paksha (waxing moon) or Krishna Paksha (waning moon)

Abhijit Muhurta – The most auspicious time period of the day

Muhurta – Auspicious Timings

Muhurta is the Vedic science of selecting the most auspicious time for important activities. Om Panchang provides muhurta calculations for:

Vivaha Muhurta – Auspicious wedding dates and times
Griha Pravesh – Best time for housewarming ceremony
Namakaran – Baby naming ceremony timings
Upanayana – Sacred thread ceremony timings
Business Muhurta – Auspicious times to start a new venture
Travel Muhurta – Best directions and times for important journeys

Choghadiya & Hora Timings

Choghadiya divides the day into 8 equal parts from sunrise to sunset (and night into 8 parts from sunset to sunrise). Each Choghadiya period is classified as auspicious (Amrit, Shubh, Labh, Char) or inauspicious (Rog, Kaal, Udveg). Om Panchang shows both day and night Choghadiya for any city.

Hora (planetary hour) is a Vedic system where each hour of the day is ruled by one of the seven classical planets. The ruling planet of the hora influences the nature of activities best suited for that time.
