What is Panchang

Panchang is the ancient Hindu astrological calendar that helps us understand the best times to do important things in life. Whether you’re planning a wedding, starting a new job, doing a puja, signing a contract, or even just traveling – checking the Panchang can guide you toward the most favorable time. It’s like nature’s clock that helps you align your actions with cosmic energy.


The word “Panchang” is made from two words – Panch means five and Ang means parts. So Panchang is made up of five key elements:


Tithi – the lunar day (related to the Moon's phase)


Vaar – the day of the week


Nakshatra – the constellation the Moon is in


Yoga – a special combination of planets


Karana – half of a tithi


These five parts together tell us how the planets and stars are positioned at a particular time and how their energies affect our daily life. Just like we check the weather before stepping out, Panchang is about checking the ‘cosmic weather’ before taking major steps.

Panchang is used in almost every Hindu ritual and ceremony. From naming a baby to Griha Pravesh, engagement to marriage – every spiritual and personal milestone often begins only after consulting the Panchang.

At Astroindusoot, we make this ancient knowledge easy for everyone to understand and use. Our expert astrologers give accurate and personalized Panchang details based on your location and date. With the right timing, you can avoid unnecessary problems and bring peace, prosperity, and success into your life.

So, before you plan anything big – check the Panchang. Because when your actions align with the universe, everything flows more smoothly.

How Accurate is Panchang?

Panchang is based on ancient Vedic astrology, which uses precise mathematical calculations of planetary movements, lunar phases, and celestial positions. When calculated correctly by expert astrologers, Panchang can be highly accurate in determining auspicious (shubh) and inauspicious (ashubh) timings for various activities.


It’s important to understand that Panchang isn’t guesswork or superstition. It’s a science developed thousands of years ago by sages who observed the relationship between cosmic events and life on Earth. The accuracy depends on two key factors:


Correct astronomical data – like sunrise/sunset times, moon phases, and planetary positions.


Personal customization – Panchang works best when it's tailored to your exact location and birth details.


At Astroindusoot, we use modern tools along with traditional knowledge to ensure accurate Panchang readings. Our astrologers consider your local time zone, longitude-latitude, and other factors to give you the most reliable results.

Remember, Panchang doesn’t “predict” your future but helps you move in sync with universal energies. When used properly, it can guide you toward better decisions and improve your chances of success, harmony, and peace.

So yes, Panchang is accurate—when done right by the right people.

How to Understand Panchang

The Hindu Panchang (Hindu Calendar) is made up of 5 main elements that guide us in knowing the right time for daily activities, pujas, festivals, and important life events. Understanding these five parts makes it easy to read the Panchang and connect with our traditions.

1. Vaar (वार – Day of the Week)

Every day in the Hindu calendar is ruled by a specific planet and deity. For example, Monday is linked with Lord Shiva, Tuesday with Hanuman ji, and Thursday with Lord Vishnu. Knowing the Vaar helps us decide the best day for certain rituals, fasting, or starting new work.

2. Tithi (तिथि – Lunar Day)

A Tithi is based on the position of the Moon and the Sun. There are 30 Tithis in a lunar month. Some Tithis are considered very auspicious (like Ekadashi, Purnima, Akshaya Tritiya), while others are avoided for new beginnings. Tithi plays a key role in deciding festivals, fasts, and Muhurats.

3. Nakshatra (नक्षत्र – Constellation)

The Moon passes through 27 Nakshatras (constellations) in the sky. Each Nakshatra has its own energy and significance. For example, Rohini Nakshatra is good for wealth and growth, while Pushya Nakshatra is considered the most auspicious for all kinds of work.

4. Yoga (योग – Planetary Combination)

Yoga is formed by the combined position of the Sun and Moon. There are 27 types of Yogas, and each has a different influence on life. Some Yogas bring success and happiness, while a few indicate challenges. Astrologers use Yoga to decide the quality of the day.
