Tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana & vara β computed from real planetary positions
A light, entertainment-grade panchang (6:00 AM IST snapshot). For muhurta, consult a traditional panchang.
Today's tithi, nakshatra, yoga, karana and vara, computed from actual Sun and Moon positions rather than copied from a table. Free, no sign-up, updated daily.
Tithi is the lunar day, one of thirty, marked off every 12Β° that the Moon pulls ahead of the Sun β fifteen in the waxing Shukla half and fifteen in the waning Krishna half. Nakshatra is the 13Β°20β² segment the Moon occupies, one of twenty-seven. Yoga adds the two sidereal longitudes together and divides that by the same 13Β°20β². Karana is half a tithi, and vara is simply the weekday.
All five are read at a single instant β 6 a.m. Indian Standard Time on the day shown β because tithi and nakshatra change during the day and a panchang has to name one. Positions come from a low-precision model with the Lahiri ayanamsa, so a printed panchang from your own tradition may show a transition at a slightly different hour. This is a light daily almanac for reference, not a muhurta calculation.
