Kālgaṇanā

The entire pañcāṅga is derived from just two numbers — the Sun's and the Moon's longitude on the ecliptic. Drag them, or play a month, and watch every limb follow.

SUN · SŪRYA

MOON · CANDRA

Bhoganśa — the arc a body has travelled along the ecliptic, 0°–360°.

The Five Limbs · पञ्चाङ्ग

The tithi is the almanac's basic day-unit — festivals and vrats are fixed by it.

Step 1 — Difference
Moon − Sun
Step 2 — Divide by 12°
Each tithi spans 12° of Moon–Sun separation. Tithis 1–15 form Śukla Pakṣa (waxing, towards Pūrṇimā). Tithis 16–30 form Kṛṣṇa Pakṣa (waning, towards Amāvasyā).

The larger cycles

The almanac names each civil day by the tithi running at sunrise — which is why a tithi can skip or repeat on wall calendars. For today's actual pañcāṅga, see hinducalendar.app.

Longitudes on this page are nirayana (sidereal, Lahiri ayanāṃśa) — measured from a fixed point among the stars, as the pañcāṅga requires; 0° is not the vernal equinox.
