Aaj Ka Panchang

A Panchang is a detailed Hindu calendar which takes into account five factors of any given day as per Indian Vedic scriptures to provide information useful for astrologers to forecast celestial phenomena, and also to outline auspicious and inauspicious time frames for important occasions such as marriage, education, career, travel, etc. The five aspects taken into account are day of the week (vaar); tithi or the lunar day; nakshatra or the constellation; yoga; and karan. You can get your region-specific Panchang by entering the name of your country and city in the boxes below.
