Parts of Panchang

Tithi

This is the day as per the Hindu lunar calendar. The calendar comprises a dark and a bright fortnight which is also known as Paksha. Tithi is while the Moon finishes 12 degrees of its movement on the Sun. This part of Panchang is either associated with Shukla Paksha or Krishna Paksha. Shukla Paksha is when the Moon is waxing, and Krishna Paksha is when the Moon is waning.

Many customs and festivals are connected with Tithis. A majority of the festivals take place during Amavasya or Poornima. It must be kept in mind that the beginning and end of a Tithi is based on the degree of the Moon from the degree of the Sun. Thus, a Tithi can begin or end at any time during the day.

Types of Tithis:

  1.     Jaya Tithi
  2.     Rikta Tithi
  3.     Nanda Tithi
  4.     Poorna Tithi
  5.     Bhadra Tithi

Din

Din is also known as Vaar. There are 7 days in a week, and each one is associated with its ruling planet: Monday (Moon), Tuesday (Mars), Wednesday (Mercury), Thursday (Jupiter), Friday (Venus), Saturday (Saturn), and Sunday (Sun).

Yoga

A Yog is attained through the sum of the Nirayna Longitude of the Sun and Moon. The sum is split into 27 portions (13°20 each).

Viskumbh, the first Yog, finishes as the sum is 13°20′. Priti, the second Yog finishes while it is 26°40’, and the list goes on. The other remaining Yogas are Ayushman, Atiganda, Shobhana, Sukarma, Dhriti, Saubhagya, Vyaghata, Harshana, Vajra, Shoola, Vyatipata, Paridhi, Vriyana, Sidhi, Sadhya, Shiva, Sidha, Shubha, Shukla, Indra, Vaidhriti, Brahma, Dhruva, Vridhi, and Ganda.

Nakshatras

The literal meaning of Nakshatra is: which doesn’t decay. These are stellar constellations.

In astrology, there are 27 Nakshatras, and all of them have 13 degrees 20 minutes of the zodiac. One can identify the Nakshatra using the degree of the Moon in a specific sign during the time of birth.

Nakshatras affect the personality trait of the zodiac wherein they are placed. The series of all the Nakshatras starts with Ashwini Nakshatra in the zodiac sign of Aries.

Every Nakshatra has a heavenly lord, and that is utilized for K.P calculations and Vimsottari Dasa. They even represent Gan, Yoni and Nadi.

Karana

A Karana is done as the Niryanaa Longitude of the Moon attains every 6 degrees on that of the Sun. In all the Tithis, 2 Karanas cover both the halves of the Tithi. Overall, there are eleven Karanas. Out of them, 4 take place only one time a month. These are the fixed Karanas (Sakuni, Kintughna, Naga, and Chatushpada), and the other 7 are movable Karanas (Balava, Kaulava, Vanija, Taitila, Vishti, Gara, and Bava).

Rahukalam

As per Vedic astrology, Rahukalam is considered an important subject. This is because it assists in finding out the unfavorable time in a full day for commencing any new or vital task.

However, Rahukalam is evaluated using sunrise and sunset time. Thus, it is clear that it’ll vary from one place to another.

As this period is based on the sunrise and sunset timings of your respective place, you need to gauge it for any day.

Use the online platforms to have free astro chat or chat to astrologer for other services like free Kundli, lucky number, weekly horoscope, matchmaking, etc.

Yamagandam

Similar to Rahukalam, there are times called Yamagandam. These are regarded as unfavorable times for commencing any important task.
