Monthly Panchang

arrow_leftPanchang - Monthly Calendar

In Vedic astrology, the Panchang is an essential tool used to determine auspicious and inauspicious timings for daily activities. It is based on five key elements, which are:

  1. Tithi (Lunar Day): This refers to the different phases of the moon, which are significant in deciding the auspiciousness of a day. There are 15 Tithis in each lunar fortnight, and they have their unique impact on rituals and events. Some Tithis are considered highly auspicious for ceremonies, while others are avoided.
  2. Vara (Day of the Week): The seven days of the week are ruled by different planets in Vedic astrology. Each day carries the energy of the planet that governs it:
    • Sunday (Ravivara) is ruled by the Sun,
    • Monday (Somavara) by the Moon,
    • Tuesday (Mangalavara) by Mars, etc. Performing certain activities on specific days can bring better results according to planetary influences.
  3. Nakshatra (Lunar Constellation): The Nakshatra in which the moon is placed on a particular day is of great importance in determining the quality of that day. There are 27 Nakshatras in Vedic astrology, and each Nakshatra has a unique set of characteristics that influence daily activities.
  4. Yoga: Yoga refers to the specific combination of the sun and moon’s positions. There are 27 Yogas in Vedic astrology, and they define the auspicious or inauspicious nature of the day. Certain Yogas are considered highly favorable for important events.
  5. Karana: This is half of a Tithi and is used in Muhurta (timing for rituals). There are 11 Karanas, and like Tithis, they are considered either auspicious or inauspicious for specific activities.

Each month, the Panchang provides guidance on:

  • Auspicious Muhurats (timings for starting new ventures, weddings, etc.),
  • Festival Dates,
  • Fasting Days,
  • Planetary Transits (Grah Gochar),
  • Rituals and Pujas, and
  • Dos and Don’ts for certain days.

By following the monthly Panchang in Vedic astrology, individuals can align their actions with the cosmic energies to maximize success and avoid obstacles in their life.
