How this Panchang is calculated
Times are for the selected city in Indian Standard Time (Asia/Kolkata). Dates are calculated from the Sun and Moon; they are model-computed and not independently certified.
The lunar month follows the North Indian full-moon-ending convention. Observance dates can differ between traditions; some skipped-sunrise assignments remain unresolved.
Moon symbols are indicative shapes at sunrise. Muhurat, Parana and Ghatasthapana timings are not supplied.
