The 5 Pillars of Vedic Panchang
The five foundational celestial limbs that govern time and karma
Tithi (Lunar Day)
Calculated by the exact 12° angular distance between Sun and Moon. There are 30 Tithis in a lunar month across Shukla and Krishna Pakshas.
Vaar (Solar Weekday)
The 7 days of the week, each energized and governed by a presiding planetary deity from Surya (Sunday) to Shani (Saturday).
Nakshatra (Lunar Mansion)
The 27 celestial divisions of 13°20' each through which the Moon traverses, influencing mindset, character, and auspicious timings.
Yoga (Luni-Solar Harmony)
The sum of the Sun and Moon's longitudes divided into 27 Yogas (like Siddhi, Shubha, Vyatipata) that determine cosmic compatibility.
Karana (Half Tithi)
Each Tithi is split into two Karanas (total 60 in a lunar month with 4 fixed and 7 repeating), regulating specific deed accomplishments.
Ekadashi & Pradosh Vrats
The Spiritual & Health Power of Bi-Monthly Fasting
Ekadashi (11th lunar day) dedicated to Lord Vishnu and Pradosh (13th day twilight) dedicated to Lord Shiva cleanse both the digestive system and mental turbulence through canonical cosmic alignments.
Purnimanta vs Amanta Traditions
Regional Diversity of Indian Calendars
North Indian tradition follows Purnimanta (month ends on Full Moon), while South and West India follow Amanta (month ends on New Moon / Amavasya). Both share identical Tithis, Nakshatras, and festival days.
Solar Sankrantis & Rashi Transits
Seasonal Shifts & Solar Auspiciousness
When the Sun transitions into a new Rashi (Zodiac sign), it marks a Sankranti. Makar Sankranti (Capricorn) heralds Uttarayan (six months of celestial northern ascent), celebrated across India with joy.
