How to read a Panchang
- Tithi
- The lunar day, one of 30 in a month. It is the Moon’s distance from the Sun, in steps of 12 degrees. Ekadashi, Purnima and Amavasya are the best known.
- Nakshatra
- The star group the Moon is in, one of 27. It is used for muhurat, naming and Kundli Milan.
- Yoga
- One of 27 yogas from the Sun and Moon added together. Nine of them, such as Vyatipata and Vaidhriti, are traditionally avoided for new beginnings.
- Karana
- Half a tithi. Vishti, also called Bhadra, is the one avoided for auspicious work.
- Rahu Kaal
- About 90 minutes of the day that is avoided for starting new work. It moves earlier or later by weekday.
- Choghadiya
- The day and the night are each cut into eight parts. Amrit, Shubh and Labh are good, Char is fair, Udveg, Kaal and Rog are avoided.
Times are calculated, not copied from a printed Panchang, and can differ by a few minutes. Festival days can differ by a day by local custom. For an important muhurat, confirm with your family pandit.
