Today’s Panchang
In the ancient science of Indian Vedic Astrology, Panchang holds immense importance. For centuries, it has empowered sages, astrologers, and devotees to predict significant changes and make spiritually aligned decisions — long before those events unfold.
Unlike a regular calendar, the Panchang provides a detailed cosmic map of the day — including:
Tithi (Lunar Day)
Vaar (Day of the Week)
Nakshatra (Constellation)
Yoga (Auspicious Time Alignment)
Karana (Half Tithi)
Planetary Positions and Moon Phase
This sacred tool guides us in choosing the right times for pujas, travel, investments, ceremonies, fasts, and new beginnings.
What is Panchang?
The term Panchang comes from the Sanskrit words “Pancha” (five) and “Anga” (limbs), meaning the five key components that govern every Vedic day. It is more than just a calendar — it is a sacred astrological guide that aligns daily life with cosmic rhythms.
Rooted in the Hindu calendar system, the Panchang reflects the daily planetary positions and lunar cycles, helping individuals determine shubh muhurats, observe vrats (fasts), celebrate festivals, and even understand powerful cosmic events like eclipses.

How Does Panchang Help in Planning the Day?
Have you ever been advised to perform an important task at a particular time? If yes, you’ve already experienced the power of Panchang. From sacred ceremonies like Naamkaran (naming ceremony) and marriage Muhurat to deciding the right moment for launching a business, buying a vehicle, or moving into a new home — Panchang is at the core of all these decisions.
The Panchang, or Hindu Vedic calendar, is a detailed astrological tool that analyzes planetary positions, Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karan, and more. These elements help identify the most favorable time to carry out important activities, ensuring success, peace, and harmony.
Unlike regular calendars, Panchang doesn’t just count dates — it forecasts cosmic conditions, just like a weather forecast prepares you for rain. It won’t change nature’s forces, but it prepares you to navigate them wisely.
Rooted in the Hindu calendar system, the Panchang reflects the daily planetary positions and lunar cycles, helping individuals determine shubh muhurats, observe vrats (fasts), celebrate festivals, and even understand powerful cosmic events like eclipses.
How to Understand Panchang?
— By Gargi A Jaitleey, Vedic Astrologer | Spiritual Healer | Numerologist
Understanding the Panchang — the sacred Vedic astrological calendar — may sound complex, but its core wisdom is deeply connected to your everyday life. While its intricate meanings are best interpreted by experienced astrologers, the basics can empower anyone to live in harmony with the universe.
Coming from a prestigious lineage of over a century of astrological practice, and having been immersed in the sacred knowledge of astrology since the age of 8, I, Gargi Jaitley, strive to make this timeless wisdom accessible for all.
Through this simplified guide, I invite you to explore how the five essential elements of Panchang can transform how you plan your days — helping you choose the right moments, avoid negative energy phases, and align your actions with celestial timing for greater peace, productivity, and success.
1. Vaar (Day of the Week)
Each day carries the energy of a ruling planet:
Sunday – Ruled by Surya (Sun)
Monday – Ruled by Chandra (Moon)
Tuesday – Ruled by Mangal (Mars)
…and so on.
These energies influence the best days for prayer, fasting, healing, and intention-setting. In my consultations, I guide clients to align their rituals with these planetary energies.
2. Tithi (Lunar Day)
The Hindu lunar month is divided into:
Shukla Paksha – the waxing moon (energy building up)
Krishna Paksha – the waning moon (energy releasing)
There are 30 Tithis in a month, each signifying different energies. For example:
Purnima (Full Moon) – Best for spiritual insight and celebrations
Amavasya (New Moon) – Ideal for reflection and inner healing
I often help clients plan weddings, business launches, and healing sessions based on the most auspicious Tithis.
3. Nakshatra (Constellation)
There are 27 Nakshatras, each governing specific energies and ruled by unique deities and planets. Nakshatras go beyond zodiac signs, offering deeper insight into:
Personality traits
Life path
Favorable rituals and remedies
I use Nakshatra analysis extensively during Kundali readings to help identify spiritual strengths and challenges.
4. Yoga (Sun + Moon Relationship)
There are 27 Yogas, each formed by the sum of the Sun and Moon’s degrees. These Yogas indicate life temperament and karmic patterns.
For instance:
Siddhi Yoga – Indicates success and divine grace
Shiva Yoga – Brings spiritual elevation and peace
Vaidhriti Yoga – May cause emotional or mental imbalance
Each Yoga is carefully considered during my consultations to offer tailor-made remedies.
5. Karan (Half-Tithi)
Each Tithi is split into two Karans, creating 11 total. These influence day-to-day tasks. Some Karans are highly favorable, while others like Vishti (Bhadra) are avoided for important events.
Understanding which Karan is active helps determine when to act — or pause.
