What is Panchang?
Panchang (from Sanskrit pancha-anga, “five limbs”) is the traditional Vedic almanac listing the five timekeeping elements of each day: Tithi (lunar day), Vara (weekday), Nakshatra (lunar mansion), Yoga (Sun+Moon longitude combination), and Karana (half-tithi). Together these five determine the auspicious and inauspicious windows for initiating any action.
Choghadiya (“four ghadi”) is a secondary timing system that divides each day and night into 8 equal parts, each ruled by a planet. Hora (from Sanskrit hora, related to hour) divides the 24-hour day into planetary hours in the classical Chaldean sequence. Both systems are used alongside tithi and nakshatra to choose the most favorable moment for important actions.
Rahu Kaal, Gulika Kaal, and Yamaganda are inauspicious windows derived from the weekday and day length, each linked to a malefic planet. Abhijit Muhurta is a universally auspicious ~48-minute window around local noon. Brahma Muhurta, the 48-minute window ending 48 minutes before sunrise, is considered ideal for meditation and spiritual practice.
