పద్ధతిPanchanga Methodology
Exactly how every value on this site is computed, published openly so you never have to trust a number we cannot explain.
Ephemeris
astronomy-engine (open source, MIT), computing true geocentric Sun and Moon positions in your browserNo values are copied from other panchangams. Nothing you enter is uploaded anywhere.
Ayanamsa
Lahiri (Chitrapaksha), linear approximation 23.853° + 0.013967°/year from 2000Matches mainstream Indian practice within about 2 arc-minutes; boundary times may differ by a few minutes from professional software.
Lunar month
Amanta (month ends on Amavasya), the Telugu and South Indian conventionMonth named from the Sun's sidereal rashi at the month's starting new moon. Adhika masa is not yet separately labelled.
Day values
Tithi and Nakshatra "of the day" are taken at local sunrise (udaya)Sunrise computed for your selected city. All times IST.
Rahu Kalam family
Daylight (sunrise to sunset) divided into 8 parts, standard weekday segmentsRahu, Yamagandam and Gulika per the common South Indian table; Abhijit as the middle 1/15th of daylight.
Festival dates
Computed by masa + paksha + tithi rules, at sunriseVerified against established almanacs for 2026-27 (Janmashtami, Navaratri, Deepavali, Vaikuntha Ekadashi, Maha Shivaratri, Ugadi). Observances defined by midnight or afternoon tithis can differ by one day between traditions.
Shraddha Tithi
Tithi, paksha and masa at the moment provided, and the next sunrise-tithi matchSome traditions follow the Aparahna tithi instead. Always confirm the exact observance with your family Acharya or Purohit.
Privacy
All birth and remembrance calculations run entirely on your deviceNo storage, no transmission, no accounts. Your saved city preference stays in your own browser.
This methodology follows the conventions of mainstream Telugu panchangams. If your family follows a different Sampradaya (Purnimanta months, a different ayanamsa, or regional festival rules), your almanac may differ, and your tradition takes precedence. This page will be updated as our Acharya reviews and refines the conventions.
