Why Location Matters for Panchang
We calculated this Panchang specifically for Ujjain using your exact coordinates and timezone. This matters because sunrise and sunset times change based on where you are. A Panchang for Delhi won't give accurate timings for Mumbai or New York.
Using the wrong location can cause errors of several minutes to hours. This makes the auspicious timings wrong. Location-specific calculations ensure the timings match the actual astronomical events at your place.
How to Use This Information
Use the Panchang to time your important activities. Different times of day have different qualities according to Vedic tradition. Check the Panchang before starting new ventures, doing spiritual practices, or making big decisions.
The five elements (Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga, Karana, and Vara) together show the nature of each day. This system has been used for thousands of years and continues to guide millions of people in their daily lives.
About this Panchang: This daily Panchang is calculated using traditional Vedic astrology methods with location-specific astronomical data.
