Today's Panchang with Forecast | Online Panchanga

In Indian Vedic Astrology, Panchang also called panchangam, is a sanskrit name given to the traditional vedic calendar. Panchanga means pancha + anga i.e five parts or limbs of the vedic calendar. The five parts are Day (Vaara / Din), Lunar day (Tithi), Star (Nakshatra), Yoga and Karan (half of Tithi). So, Panchang in Hindu Astrology or Indian vedic astrology is a sort of Hindu Almanac. It is an astrological diary or calendar that gives useful astrological information required by an astrologer. It is consulted for finding and selecting an appropriate and auspicious time for important occasions, ceremonies or actions like marriage, education, travel, starting new business or project, examination, interview etc.

Basically, Panchang is used to match the current position of planets with the position of planets in a person's astrological chart so as to find and if required, to look ahead to find astrologically good days and times for that person. It is an ancient method to synchronize our actions with good times so as to reduce obstacles and increase our chances for success. In other words, it helps in knowing what days and times are good for an individual and which ones may cause problems so as to avoid them. It is clear that Panchang is a helpful and practical use of Indian vedic astrology and with its help, we can know the nature and quality of any day in advance. The belief is that time is an energy having unique qualities which can be reined in for our comprehensive improvement.

The five parts of Panchang are:

1. Din (vaar) or Day of the Week
2. Tithi or the Lunar day
3. Nakshatra or the Constellation
4. Yoga
5. Karan
