What is a Vedic calendar?
A Vedic calendar (panchang) tracks the lunar day (tithi), the Moon’s mansion (nakshatra) and other elements calculated from actual planetary positions. Dates shift with location and sunrise — this calendar uses New Delhi as its reference. Tap any day for the full panchang: auspicious muhurtas, Rahu Kaal and more.
