Panchang, meaning 'five limbs' in Sanskrit, is the traditional Vedic calendar and almanac used in Hindu astrology. It comprises five essential elements — Tithi (lunar day), Nakshatra (star constellation), Yoga (auspicious combination), Karana (half-day), and Vaar (weekday). Together, these five components define the quality of each moment.

For thousands of years, Vedic astrologers have used the Panchang to determine the most auspicious timings (Muhurthams) for important events like weddings, housewarming, business launches, travel, and religious ceremonies.

This calculator on drsantoshsharmaa.zumper.in works out all five for your exact location — not a generic city panchang. White Lotus Spirituality maintains it under Dr. Santosh Sharmaa (ex-Wing Commander, IAF, Bangalore), so the timings match what he'd use in a real consultation.
