Pañchāṅga means "five limbs" — the five elements of the Vedic calendar that describe the quality of any given moment: the tithi (lunar day), vāra (weekday), nakṣatra (lunar mansion), yoga (lunisolar combination), and karaṇa (half-tithi). Together they give a precise picture of the day's energetic quality — when to act, when to pause, and what to avoid.

Classical Indian households have consulted the Pañchāṅga daily for millennia. It is not superstition — it is a sophisticated astronomical calendar whose categories have been refined over 2,000 years of careful observation.

Yes. Cancel anytime — no friction, no "are you sure?" loops. Your subscription stops at the end of the billing period and you keep access until then.

Birth time makes the analysis significantly more precise — it determines your Lagna (ascendant), which is the foundation of your personal chart. Without it, we use a sunrise chart (sūryodaya lagna), which gives a reliable but less individualized reading.

Even without birth time, Premium is substantially more useful than Free: we can still calculate transits over your Moon sign, your Daśā period, and Muhūrtas for your location. Add birth time later when you find it — your chart updates automatically.

We use Swiss Ephemeris — the same engine used by professional astronomers — with the Lahiri ayanamsa and whole-sign houses as taught in Bṛhat Parāśara Horā Śāstra. No tropical positions, no Western hybridization, no invented "new age" interpretations.

The Praśna (horary) tool interprets the chart using classical rules from Praśna Mārga. The Pañchāṅga uses the traditional five-limb system, not a simplified version. If a text says something, we say so and cite it. If we don't know, we say we don't know.

Each weekday is divided into eight equal periods of daylight. One of those periods — the Rāhu Kāla — is traditionally considered inauspicious for starting new ventures. Rāhu is the north lunar node, associated with sudden disruptions and concealed obstacles. The Rāhu Kāla changes by weekday: Saturday has it first thing in the morning; Sunday has it in the final period before sunset.

In practice, most people in classical Indian tradition simply avoid beginning important tasks (signing contracts, starting journeys, important meetings) during this window. The rest of the day is unaffected.
